The temperatures should be fairly constant 26 to 30 and if you cannot keep the humiduty up then the moist box is essential. Make sure the moss does not rot inside the box so check it fairly often. The heating pad against the side is fine but depending on where you live they might need a spotlight to keep them warm enough. Winter will be a challenge with the humidity and night temperatures. It might be required to put another heating pad in (on a thermostat) to ensure they do not get cold at night.
I've also heard that they aren't that needy concerning humidity, but I'm not sure of that. Given the humidity need, what would be the right substrate to use with them.

Also, what would be the right shape and sizing of their enclosure.

Hi Ross

Welcome. Do a lot of research and try to find/google for info...

I have just started myself, and is actually building cage today, properly laid out and with heat pads and basking lights...

I still dont even have the snake yet. First sort out the environment then keep them.

But congrats and post some more pics.
