I use big water dishes, that take up abot 1/3 of the floor space, like a small cat litter box. They like to climb so I also have branches and hide areas. For breeding I use a standard sterlite with a 2 inch whole cut in its top. When not breeding I use 1/2 of a large flower pot.
P. S. You should never feed a new snake!
Water yes food no.
Give them a day or so to calm down. And do not hold them for the first few days.
These snakes have thin skin and do not like to dry-out or be strethed by being pulled on. You do not want condensation in the cage, but it should not bee too dry, so control the humidity with Plastic ovet most of the top. Adjust the amount of open space as needed to control condensation, you should have none.
It is best to feed defosted frozen or risk live food damaging their skin. I feed every 4 to 12 days and use food that is about 1 and 1/2 the size of the thickest part of the snake when the food is wet and squezed dry with a paper towel. It is better to feed several small items rather than one large item!
