Yea they definitely need a heat source of some kind. you can get these red lights that are designed for reptiles.
Things you really should have
- Heat Lamp
- Twig or branch to climb on (must be sterilized so that the snake doesn't get sick and die, sounds stupid but its true)
- Something for it to hide under (an empty cut open kleenix box will work, but its ugly as hell)
- Water dish or small pond
Those are pretty much everything you need in the cage to keep them happy. And you might want to lay down some newspaper on the bottom of the glass for when it shits, makes it a lot easier to clean up.
