If so and if it's to big you can stuff moss in it to make it smaller and more snug. I personally would get a smaller log and water dish and add another hide for the cool side.

I took off the heat lamp, but generally I keep the room at a constant 80 degrees because that room is just dedicated to reptiles. I use a temp gun for temperatures. I never thought of the construction paper which makes sense. I was thinking of switching to a bin set up and I was wondering how people do it in regards to how they maintain temperatures.
Also, for her hide as of a few hours ago I used a CLIFF Bar box which is half the size of her old hidey which fit her snug. For the first time I saw her out of her hidey in her tank, but I don't have any frozen mice atm since I assumed she wouldn't eat tonight (it's 2am right now).
When should I try to feed her again?

Had to do this one time with my mojave, and then thereafter he took f/t off tongs, no problem.

This is what i would try, but some of the others might have a few ideas, try them till you find one that works. Every snake is different, so what works on one snake might not work with others. good luck.
