You can really go a lot of directions with the type of aquarium/terrarium setups for the snake. Any type really will work. If you use an aquarium, use a zoo-med heat pad underneath for the heat source and you won't have a need for a bulb of any sort. I prefer to use paper as a subtrate. I find that the easiest for me. The hide should def have only one entrance/exit. It will make the snake feel the most secure/comfortable. The plastic hide boxes are the best in my opinion. The nice thing about newpaper is they can also go in between the layers to hide as well if they so choose. The water bowls I prefer to use are ceramic "dog/cat bowl" types. They are heavy enough to not get tipped over and are nice and smooth to make for optimum clean-ability. Wanna stay away from anything rough like rocks and such so they can't injure themselves with those "decorations". Hope all this helps. Good luck.
