The gradual drilling of holes is best to avoid having a sieve rather than a RUB (its a brand of plastic boxes all RUBs have clip handles that lock the lid, other plastic boxes are available but RUBs are ideal). It's always a good idea to run a setup before putting a snake in it, its guaranteed to need a tweek here and there as everything settles down. Holes in the lid will reduce heat retention too far in ky opinion, heat just goes up and out. |

I have holes all around the top of the rub, then holes in the lid (extra in the cold side) and a few lower down on the cold side.
as for securing the lid, i personally use(d) a 5kg weight which has worked fine with no escapees but guess it all depends on the size of the snake.
you can get a thermometer on surrey pet supplies that has 2 probes and its cheap (battery powered) infact everything you require is the cheapest on surrey pet supplies.
you will need bedding, either orchid bark, aspen or newspaper/kitchen roll
i got my rub and equipment the day i bought my snake so im not convinced that setting it up a week before is important, but thats just my opinion, and my little guy was happy as larry

you would need to set the rub up a week or so b4 u pick up the snake so the temps can settle. start off drilling a few air holes at hot and cold ends. high up hot end low down on cold end. u could end up with condensation forming in the rub if u have to few holes so if you do get condensation you add more holes to solve the problem |

Also something for them to shed against, driftwood or decorative stone. And definitely 2 hides. I have 3 and he alternates between them. |

prob want 2 hides one for hot end one for cold end
some rubs come with clips that hold the lid down. regarding the holes i would have thought it would be a case of trial so that you get the correct temps and no condensation on the sides of the rub |
