First, order online. You will get better service and prices, plus more than likely you will get a sales rep that is not going to BS you. For the UTH, get a foot of flexwatt pre-wired. It is tons cheaper than other UTH and is thin as can be. Second, what are the temps where the snake will be kept? A red bulb may not be necessary. For hides, check wal-mart for plastic flower pots. Melt a few holes in them with a soldering gun or hot nail. While you are there, pick up an Accurite thermometer/hygrometer. They come with a probe so you only need one. Also, you will want something to regulate the heaters. A thermostat is the best way to do so, but on a budget, a dimmer can be used.
