One thing I would reinforce is having water available at all times. My woma's bowls aren't big enough for them to soak in, but they do have drinking water available at all times. Soaking won't hurt them at all, so bowl size is up to you. I just find a smaller bowl easier to keep clean since they're not tracking through it all the time.
I would also add that womas love hide boxes. They're very hardy and tolerate a very wide range of conditions, and so will do fine without, but they do spend a good amount of time in rodent burrows. That burrowing instinct is easily satisfied by an upside-down flower pot saucer with a notch cut in the side big enough for the woma to enter/exit. You should size it to the snake, i.e. it should be a snug fit so that the animal feels secure as opposed to feeling like it's in a huge cave. They won't hide ALL the time - they still get out and cruise the cage alot, but they do seem to like having a dark, snug retreat available.
Best regards,
