First Snake

[BrokerS2K]

I got my first snake today and I am ecstatic. It is a beautiful baby male Suriname. Just want to see if my setup is right for him. He is in a 75gal tank with a medium 30-40gal Repti Therm U.T.H on the far left of the tank. Then I have a 150W day light in the center, and a 100w ceramic night bulb next to it. He is laying on Cypress bedding and has a good sized water bowl. I wish I had a digital camera, I'd post a pick(still using film lol). His tail is soo red and he's got bat wings and a pink hue on his belly. Thinking about putting in some branches for a better visual. Will the snake climb on them? Is the setup O.K.?

get a digital thermometer with a probe. There should be a hotspot of 88-90 and the rest of the tank should be 77 - 85.

LOL, ya get branchs. You will probably find that the only two places you will find it is the water dish, and the sticks. So make sure s/he can sit comfortably on the sticks, and can swim (not really swim) around a little in the bowl, and clean water. Have fun, thats a great snake you got there, and probably my next one.
