You still need something to control the temperature of the heat mat. How much you want to spend on one, is up to you. They have ones for reptiles that are awesome control almost everything. Seeing as this is for a Hondo, any simple thermostat will work. I use a hydro farm thermostate for both my snakes and it works well. They are roughly $40 shipped off of Amazon. I need to stress you NEED to have a thermostat.

Not all Hondos are climbers depends on the snake. I know mine isn't. I wouldn't spend a whole lot of money on a big branch for him to climb on unless you like the look of it.

Honestly, the adults are so inactive that they can live in a 10 gallon for their whole life.

As a rule, UVB is not needed for snakes.

Pixie frogs don't need UVB so sure, that would work for lighting  . But a regular florescent bulb would work just as well.

Thermostats and thermometers are not the same thing.
A thermostat is a device used to control the heat source. You need one so that your heat source doesn't overheat the enclosure.
A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. You also need this to monitor the conditions in your enclosure.
A 10 gallon heat mat is too small for a 40 gallon tank. Go out and get one appropriate for your setup. It should cover 1/4 to 1/3 of the floor space.

Another thing is your hide size. I noticed on your shopping list that you had several large hides. My younger hondos have large hides but they never use them. They always cram themselves into the smaller ones. I think it makes them feel more secure. The little coconut house hides at petsmart/Petco work great. Also, like mikoh mentioned a thermostat is a MUST have. Keep us posted! And let's see some pics once you get everything setup.-Patrick
