Getting Supplies
Now it's time to make a snake habitat.  This is actualy very fun!  Besides the mobs of people and all the crying babies and... never mind.  The real fun is looking at the stuff in the pet store.  So many things to choose from!  Be careful, don't get sucked in.  You only need a few things to make your snake happy and feel at home.  Below is a list of necesities.
Aqarium: You can get many other enclosures, but an aquarium is the best one.  Size depends on type of snake.
Cost: Anywere between $50 and $200
Bedding: Never use woodchips.  The best beddings are sand, and ground tree bark.  Moss is good, but can get hard to clean.
Bark Cost: Starts at $4.99 or $5.49
Sand Cost:  Starts at a price of $5.49 to    $8.99
PRICES BASED ON AVERAGE SALE
Heating: All snakes need some kind of heating.  A heat rock is good, but I prefer a heat pad.  It's also what I use for Rudy,  and covers a wider area.  It sticks to the bottom of the cage, and plugs in wherever there is an outlet.  Don't forget to get a themometer!                                
Heat Rock: $8.99 to $12.00
Heat Pad: $15.99 to $17.99

Lighting: All snakes also need some kind of lighting.  There are several lighting methods, but the two most effective methods are florescent hookons that attach to the top of your cage, and heat bulbs that you put into any normal desk lamp.  I use the heat bulb method, but both methods are just as effective.
Heat Bulb: $8.00 to $12.00
Heat Light Attachment: $9.99 to $99.99
Water: Your snake needs some water!  All you need is a water dish, that can come in shapes that look like rocks.  A mister or spray bottle may also help mantain hummidity levels. 
Water Dish: $4.99 to $8.99
Spray Bottle: $.99 to $1.99
