Fantastic job!!! For coming up with everything on the fly and being so proactive you really did awesome!!! Honestly, for pulling all that together in one day it looks fantastic and covers pretty much all bases.
The other members gave great advice and I can't think of anything to add that they haven't said.
Once you get the plants you can redo it however you like, you obviously have the right idea. I'm sure however you set it up will be great.
Once set up I would try not to mess around in her enclosure much more. At that point it's probably best to let her acclimate.
Oh, I did think of one thing to add... You might benefit from adding some clutter and something on top of the new hide. What you have is great, but being transparent it may not offer her the security she's looking for. They like it snug and dark. You can crumple up some newspaper or something for inside. You could even grab some rocks from the forest. Just give them a quick wash like the branches. Then you can boil them. I just barely get the water boiling, just hot enough so it's bubbling a little bit. I leave them in for 20 minutes or so. Let them cool down, they'll stay hot for a while. But then you're good to go. I have rocks in a bunch of my hides.
Having a few branches and rocks will also help when the snake sheds. They need something to rub against to get the shed started and will use it to help the shed along the way if needed.
Anyway, I rambled enough...
What you have already is awesome and will work great. Another minor tweak or two can't hurt, but that's completely up to you.
Keep up the great work!!!
