Well, most people regulate the temp. for their snakes with something like a heat lamp, heating pad, or a heat rock of some sort. That way it provides a constant temperature for the animal.

I haven't had a snake in about 13 years or so, but I don't remember them being rather difficult to care for other than having to obviously goto a pet store for the food (live or dead, can't usually buy it at a grocery store), and I remember bathing our snake. I don't really remember why. And searching them for ticks.

Other than that, they are pretty easy animals to care for as long as you don't overfeed them and take basic care of them. If you find a small pet store that specializes in reptiles, they should be able to give you a better idea of what would be neccassary.
