Welll, yea. I wouldnt buy the snake unless you have something set up for it.

A sterilite tub can work just fine. If you plan on getting a baby, you can spend the $4 bucks for a 6 qt tub. Get a little cup for the water and a small plastic bowl from the dollar store. Cut a hole for the hide, and your set as far as enclosure.

You can buy an accurite and a human heat pad (NO auto-off) for less than $20 from walmart, and you have a makeshift temp home.

I used this set up for a few days while off at a show in Chicago. It worked very well.

I used small blocks of wood to elevate the tub off of the heat pad just enough, put the heat pad on low, and the tub was heated to 80-82. (The accurite probe was in between the newspaper)

Make sure you clip the top on the tub, or bungee cord it on.

I wasn't worried about offering a hot spot in such a small enclosure.

In total, it'll cost you somewhere from 25-30$ for a nice temp set-up.
