proposed enclosure

hi guys

just wanted to run by you my planed enclosure ideas, i will start of with a small set up for the first month or so just until the snake settles in, it is a yearling and i have read a post by willow i think it was about carpets being outgoing and curious when they are young so therefor a large enclosure wont be to much of a prob for them in regards to them getting stressed out, anyway the small enclosure will be pretty basic a plastic tub 70cm x 70cm x 50 cm with a heat mat set to 32 deg up one end and a couple of vent holes for cooling and airflow down the other end, branch , hide box , water bowl included, i plan to once the snake is settled in to handle him as much as possible then move him to the bigger set up wich will be, 1.5 meters x 1.0 meters x 1.0 meter, with a ceremic heat lamp set up with a thermostate up one end near the roof above a mesh saftey guard, the cool end will have air vents for cooling and air flow, it will have a uv day light and blue night light set on a timer, hide box, branches, ledges and water bowl will be included, i dont want my snake to go into hybernation at all and that is why i went with the ceremic/thermostate set up rather than just a heat mat as it gets quiet cool down my way in the winter. do you guys think this is a competent set up for my snake? any thoughts or ideas are more than welcome and encouraged , thanks for being so patient

cheers

jay
