Re: where should i find some good cage items
Great places to find handy items, Salvation Army thrift stores, goodwill stores and rummage sales.
Our BP has a cardboard box that my hiking boots came in for a hide, and he does not seem to care, he pretty much lives in that box.

Get one that will fit from side to side drill hole in the ends and side of cage then put screws in the end. Make perfect branches for heavier snake. Here's a old pic to give you a idea of what it looks like.

a thermostat is the most important thing in a sety up.
it stops you cooking your snake to death
i use heat mats in all my tubs
ceramic set ups in all my vivariums
heat mats are not very good at giving ambient air temperatures
ceramics give great ambient air temps

Re: where should i find some good cage items
UTH (Under-Tank Heaters) can and will get too hot if unregulated. Even lights can provide to much heat if their wattage is too high for the area or they are placed too close and also need to be monitored.
If you're looking for a cheap alternative or temporary way to regulate your UTH you can pick up a lamp dimmer from most hardware or department stores for around $10. You'll also need to pick up a digital thermometer with probe (I like the Zilla one 'cause it's black, but the yellow ZooMed one is sometimes cheaper) which you should also be able to pick up for around $10-15 from a pet store. This combo works best in a room where the temperature doesn't vary much.
Non-proportional (On/Off) thermostats (like the ReptiTemp 500R) can cost around $50 and digital proportional systems $150+ just to give you an idea.
