Well, you also need a thermostat to control the temps on the UTH so that'll be around another 100 dollars.

A climbing branch isn't really necessary though it might make her tank look nice and it might make her feel a bit more secure.

The hide ought to be much smaller than you think it needs to be!! Like like smooshy!!!

The water bowl does not need to be large- it is not their pool!! Just big enough to hold water to drink from!

Why do you want to feed outside of the snake's environment??

You'll need a thermometer and hygrometer to measure temps and humidity inside the tank.

You'll want to cover the sides and back of the tank with dark material to add to the security of the snake. If the external environment is chilly, you'll more than likely need to insulate the sides and back of the tank as well.
