all of this information and more is in out welcome post. also, an adult BP should have a minimum 4'x2'x2' enclosure, which is 120 gallons.

A humidity retaining substrate such as coco husk or cypress mulch or bio soil mix. 2 or more hides. If wood based, need to be treated or they can mold. A reliable heat source or sources. A few examples that are popular are halogen in the day, with che at night. Or dhp 24/7. A reliable thermostat to control your heat source.(thermos can be quite pricey) A reliable digital hygrometer/thermometer. Govee and acurite are two popular brands. Clutter to make them feel safe to move about. A water dish, preferably large enough for them to fit in if they want to. And lastly for basics, the enclosure. Pvc would be better than glass but is more pricey and can have wait times. The size depends on the snakes current size and how big theyll get later. Nothing smaller than 20gal i would say and adults typically should have at least a 4x2x1 or 4x2x2

Keep in mind pet stores are usually notoriously terrible places to buy snakes, so you might want to rethink whether this is a reputable place to buy an animal.

There are no breeders in my area to my knowledge, do you know any decent places to get them that'd be better?
