    Boring Setup - Any suggestions

    I'm finalizing my setup for my BP to arrive and was looking for some suggestions to enhance my enclosure. Here's a pic without the substrate installed.



    I'll probably find some fake vegetation to throw on top of the hides (which seem to take up a lot of real estate). Anyone with a similar setup (20l) with pictures to share or suggestions?

    For the first 90 days you don't want a lot of décor - minimalist is better - in case the snake arrives sick or with mites, so there's less to sanitize.

    Otherwise, soft fake plants with no loops for your snake to get stuck in, or sharp edges/protruding wires to scratch him, are fine. Craft stores carry them for half the price you'd find at a pet store and many have the same SKU's.

    I'd say some climbing enrichment would be worth it too. Make them a ladder or something, so they can get some use out of your vertical space and you can wrap the plants on it too.

    I also have PVC tubes in mine to let mine scoot around out of sight.
