 Nooooooooooooo..........

That is:
a) WAY TO LARGE (babies should be kept in small plastic shoeboxes)
b) Not going to work as you need to test heating devices out.
c) substrate should be free (newspaper) for a month or two until you know it is healthy
d) the thermometer in it will suck, you NEED a digital one
e) you need two hides (REAL HIDES (NOT those fake pieces of crap you buy at a petstore)
f) WAY TO Expensive, almost everything that is included is a waste of money, INCLUDING the cage.

Just spend 50 bucks and go get a rubbermaid container, human heat pad, digital thermometer, and clay pot bottoms for hides. Then add newspaper, water dish, snake. You’re done.
