ideas for 20-long decorations
I'm curious as to what, if any, additions to my 20-long would be acceptable or preferable to spruce it up. Does anyone use plastic vines along the edges? What about things to climb/slither over? My snake does like to be somewhat active several times a night and I'd like to make it a good place for him to enjoy his wandering.

Re: ideas for 20-long decorations
Large fake plants is the way to go. That way, it fills up the tank and gives your snakes a place to hide.

I like to wrap 2-3 sides of tanks in aquarium backgrounds - if you look, you can find ones that are pictures rocks and/or weeds, and not obviously "underwater" pictures. It really reduces the visual clutter of seeing cables, etc. through the tank, and helps the occupants feel more secure, and IMO looks nicer than plain paper.

It's not so much a decoration, but I cut a piece out of a moss mat and rolled it up into a tube (it curls around itself anyway) and it acts like an additional hide. When the humidity gets low, I take it out and dampen it, then put it back, sort of like you would do with real moss. It seems to work well for both functions, in addition to adding more clutter.

Re: ideas for 20-long decorations
You guys are all awesome! Thank you so much for the inspiration and the pics. In a week or so when I do my first full clean out I intend to replace the aspen floor with Forest Floor, get a moss ball type item for humidity and definitely some driftwood. I'm also going to put a smaller water bowl in.
With respect to the plastic plants, how well do they do with the overhead red 75w heating lights. No melting issues are there?

I think if your plastic plant can get hot enough to melt, your lamp is too close to anywhere your snake could go. Anything got enough to melt plastic is not somewhere you'd stick your hand; if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for the snake. If you're worried, hold your hand up to the lamp at the distance of the plant for a few minutes. If that doesn't hurt, the plastic plant is not going to melt.

I've never had a problem with the 75w heat lamps melting the plastic plants so you should be just fine
