That should be fine, but if your not familiar with the biological processes involved in setting up a tropical tank then you should do some reading. Getting algae alone isn't enough you have to make sure that the tank gets biologically established so that it can support algae growth. When you get your tank supplies, get black water extract(tanic acid) for maintaining a low PH. And a ten gallon is way to small. You must consider the waste that they produce, the tank must not only be large enough for them to comfortably move around in, but it must also be large enough to maintain biological balance with the waste they produce. You should think of them more as fish then as snakes with regard to their care. For most tropical fish, a gallon of water per inch of fish is recommended, and for fish that eat other fishes, two gallons per inch of fish is usually recommended, and that certainly should apply these snakes as well. I won't bother with less then 30 gallon for one snake. Keep in mind the larger the body water the more stable the water conditions will be and the better your chances will be.
