I didn't see the original so I'm not sure of the context, but I'd assume you're looking for advice. Your setup looks A OK with almost everything. The only thing I would do is use construction paper or the like the cover three of the sides, to make the snake more secure. I've also heard that sometimes they can have issues with those half-log hides due to them being open on both sides, but that can easily be fixed by backing them up to something opaque, such as the cage wall (with paper) or the others log. Others than that, it looks good to go!
