Are you getting an adult or a juvie? Unless you are getting a grown snake (not as much fun IMHO & pricey, too), you may want to start out with a smaller cage.
As far as heat...It depends in part on the temperature range of the room in which the snake will be kept. I have kept both black rats and texas rats at room temperature without extra heat. Now my snakes have their own room, but the temps are only mid-70's and, again, no supplemental heat. They are doing great.
With those snakes, either will most likely be fine as long as your home is not kept too cold in the winter. Any warm area, uth or bulb, will be appreciated. Good choices, by the way. Very robust animals. Enjoy! Duffy
