Well basically, you can add more for him to climb on, leave it the same and he should be ok once he settles down, or you can put him in a tub or smaller tank.

Hope that helps.

this is a pic of my bps home

Very nice set-up, but it is indeed tall. I like the driftwood you have already, but you can get some nice tall peices that would look very nice, and give him plenty to climb on. That is all I can suggest really if you prefer not to switch to a smaller tank (its totally up to you) Don't forget that if you do put him in a smaller enclosure, you can use that one once he is a little bigger.

On another note, where are you hiding your humidity/thermometer gauges?

the thermomitor is stuck on the back of the tank with a probe and im using a stick on humidity gauge for now ntil i go out and but a digital one.

Well don't give up yet, others may have suggestions for you:)

i will definately go out and buy some more stuff. once i get paid that is =]

oh and i have my tank in my room and my tv or computer monitor is on a lot will this effect my snake a lot?

This is the tall enclosure I had my bp in before I decided to down-size. Without all of the extra's, he would inch up the side of the glass then *thump* down he'd fall. It is always a better idea to use a shorter enclosure rather than fill a tall one with things to climb on, but it did stop him from falling. He had something to hold onto in all four corners.

This is his new, shorter enclosure, which cost in total $55 with a lid I constructed.

As long as the light from either the computer or your T.V isn't illuminating his tank, and you don't have loud music or crank a theater system, it should be fine.

My female does it everynight. I wouldnt worry about it. The way i think of it is would you try to explore as much as you could. I mean c'mon they are in this little tiny glass tank there whole lives.
