Need some advice

[Randy lahey]

Im hoping to get anyone's advice for someone who has never owned a short tail python before. It's hard to find reliable information, so I think I have somewhat of an idea of what they need but want to make sure I know what I need before I invest in the snake itself. I'm sure I could find a tub to start the snake out in somewhere, but what is the best thing to make an enclosure out of or the cheapest alternative and what size will it require as an adult. My only concern other than the enclosure is I have heard they do not do well if they get to hot, in the summer time if the temperature of the room that the enclosure is in gets to high will it affect the health of the snake? Any advice someone with experience may also want to include is much appreciated!
