Im in need of some help!

[infernalis]

There are a lot of ways to save money too.

Those plastic pet food bowls with the openings on the side make great double duty water bowl/hides. and as a plus, in the summer, the snake can coil up under the water bowl where it is cooler.

empty paper towel tubes are interesting to snakes, they will explore / hide inside it and crawl all over it, best of all they are free.

I pick up dome lamp fixtures at home depot/Lowe's and wal mart for $5-$7 and just use an ordinary 40 watt bulb.

Good luck with your new snake.

One thing to note, this time of year nearly all adult females are gravid (pregnant) and bear litters of many live babies.

look to the left, that blue bowl was $1 at dollar tree.
