Er... ;-)

I use Boaphile Plastics enclosures, but any plastic enclosure will work fine. Aim for at least six square feet of floor space, unless you plan to move up in sizes as the animal grows.

For heat, either undercage or RHPs work best. In either case, make sure you pair it with a solid thermostat for your and the animal's safety.

For humidity, limiting ventilation is key. Make sure you have limited air exchange (otherwise your humidity will leak out), use a large flat waterbowl to maximize evaporation, choose moisture-retaining but mold-resistant substrate (top choices are coco husk, orchid bark, and eco earth), and add a moist sphagnum moss hide.

I hope this helps!
