  1. It wouldn't hurt to offer a humid hide every time your snake goes into shed (or just in general - it doesn't hurt to provide options for your bp), but I would focus more on making sure the humidity in the enclosure is adequate. I believe 65% is recommended, and 70%+ when in shed. Make sure you're using a digital hygrometer like an Acurite, not a pet store dial.


  2. I personally feel that all snakes should have an enclosure big enough for them to fully stretch out in. However, it's important to provide enough cover (i use fake plants, but there's lots of different stuff you can use) so that they feel secure and not exposed. Covering 3 sides of the enclosure with construction paper will also help your bp to feel secure.


  3. I use these for my ball python, and she's pretty average. I've also used cat food boxes, small plastic flowerpots, empty butter containers... Those were when she was smaller though. If you're going to be getting a snake of unknown size, I would recommend finding some cheap items like these in varying sizes so that your bp can have hides while you figure out what the appropriate size is and can buy more permanent ones (if you want).


  4. I'm not really sure what supplies are dependent on the snakes size besides food and enclosure... 110 qt tubs are pretty readily available and will comfortably fit a bp around 3 ft long in my experience. You should be able to ask the person you're getting the snake from what its weight and length is.


  5. Most breeders/rescues that I've dealt with have already had their snakes on f/t, so it might not be that difficult to find. Some snakes will never switch from live, but here's a guide that can help.


  6. I try to keep my snakes where they can get indirect light. Direct sunlight may overheat the enclosure and stress the snake. I'm not sure how necessary it is, but I figure it can't hurt for them to have a day/night cycle.

Have a read over this. It helped me a great deal when I got my new BP, who is a lot bigger than my other snakes and it made me anxious.

Edit: also, I noticed in your post you say he has a "hide". Adding a second hide to the enclosure (one on the warm side, one on the cool side) really helps with stress so they don't have to choose between feeling safe and thermoregulating. Make sure the hides you use are snug, and only have one entrance. I strongly recommend these.
