    Is your snake eating? If it is eating, and shedding in one piece, there is no need to change anything.

    I don't remember off the top of my head if it's a large or medium.

    But he sheds in one piece and eats like a champ.

    I had almost the same thing happen to me except I was moveing from the reptile basics medium to large.

    I have to agree with Mike, but I will say a few more things sense you asked. If I were you I would throw out the word "like". Your snake wants 3 things normally and a 4th durring mating season.

    Food
    Safety
    Correct Temperature

    If its moving then its trying to find one of those 3 and if its not then its content.

    You said your snake is eating and that tells us you are probably good. But you should keep in mind that you may only be good because your snake is in a tub. That same setup in a tank and your snake might get stressed and could stop eating.

    I would say if you could fit another snake half its size in the hide then you need a smaller hide if you move to a bigger tub, display cage or tank.

    If you want to try a bigger water bowl then you can keep your humidity down by putting more holes in the tub. A soldering iron in a well ventilated space will make nice even holes with rounded edges.
