A place for them to hide (always a good idea as they can get stressed out), and when you say heat source, can i suggest you use a heat mat? I've read in a few places that corn snakes can easily burn under a heat lamp, and dont realise until it's too late!
Good luck!

You have most of the basics, but don't forget a good locking lid as corn's are great escape artists. You might also consider more than one hiding spot, one on the warm side %26 one on the cooler side so your snake can pick it's best spot to digest %26 still be concealed. Also, corns like to climb, so a branch or two can't hurt.
