Hi...You'll want 2 hides, one for the cool side and one for the warm. The warm side should be 90-95 and the cool side should be 80-85. You'll need an accurate way to measure temps such as a digital thermometer or temp gun. Those stick ons they sell at pet stores are crap and can be off by about 20 degrees. If you are using a UTH, I would also recommend a thermostat. The UTHs can get too hot without one and burn your snake if you aren't careful. Like Ray said, keep handling to a minimum in the beginning. He'll need time to get adjusted to his new home and handling can stress them. Once he's eating regularly, you can start handling more, although never right after eating or during the blue phase of a shed. This is my female's enclosure to give you an idea. She's in a 75 gallon, which normally I would say is too big, but she's a freak and doesn't seem to realize she's a BP and is supposed to hide lol. For a snake as young as yours, offer plenty of cover so he feels secure. Good luck.
