Its up to you and your snake. If it eats and shows no signs of stress you probably have enough in the tank. If it fails to feed you may add some more things to add some more security for the snake.

Ive had fake and real plants in my enclosures and personally like them. Some snakes will destroy them though. My BRB is such a snake. He likes to root around and move everything in his cage.

Your plan to move the hides while adding the new one sounds fine. I would make a change to the half log though. they are not very good for snakes as they have two large holes on each side. A very easy fix for this is to stuff the front and back with dry moss. This will allow the snake to easily pass through the moss and find a nice secluded area within the log behind it. Moss has proven to be a great tool for me in my keeping.

This is what I have used for years and it can be had at both big box pet stores.

Kaylaaa I think you were directing that question to me? We have used cyprus mulch in the past when we had Blood Pythons which seemed to need more humidity than BP's to get a shed in one whole piece. The Bloods we have had were also more fossorial than BP's whereas BP's don't seem to mind not having every square millimeter of their skin covered under substrate. Do your BP's burrow in your mulch? Ours never did. We now use newspaper or paper towels, both of which we have found to be more absorbent than mulch (would you use mulch to wipe up a spill?) and much easier for spotting waste and quickly removing it. With our BP's just keeping a water receptacle of wide surface area under a heat lamp &/or near a heat pad provides sufficient humidity. I see a lot of members on this forum noting humidity problems. I think water placement is underrated. Also underrated is surface area of water. Large volume of water really won't do it, but large surface area does indeed. Here's a photo of one of our 40gallon pet enclosures, hopefully you can see just how wide the water dish is:

And this one showing two hides; hot spot and cool spot.

During our more humid Summer months here we can peel back some of the cling-wrap taped to the top of the screen cover, then during the dryer Winter months we can replace some of it, or all it if need be.

BTW we use the same exact humidity monitors/thermometers depicted in your photo at the start of this thread. :partyon:

I had the log thing in the middle and my girl got stuck in the small hole in the middle that is not meant to be one of the 3 entrance and exits. If that makes sense. Also, it's hollow all the way to the tip, so people have gotten their bps stuck in that part of it too. Also the Styrofoam background. When my girl was 81 g. That's when she got stuck in that little hole and also somehow climbed behind that crazy wall!!! I looked everywhere for her only to realize she was there!
