Simple 10 gal setup:
Undertank heater;
Thin layer of aspen or "lizard litter" substrate;
Cover the screen top with styrene foam or plastic wrap. Poke a few air holes;
Add hides such as cardboard boxes, or layers of cardboard pieces, or pvc pipe pieces, or toilet paper tubes, etc;

Add a water bowl large enough to keep the humidity from getting too low.

Further info..
Those 50 watt and higher bulbs are not good for snakes such as kings. I have experimented so much with 10 gals. The best lamp setup was using a 7 watt night light bulb inside the tank, and covering the cage top. No need for high wattage bulbs that get ultra hot and suck up all the moisture.
