    I just added some artificial leaves and a 2nd snake hide out of cardboard (temporary). What do you guys think?

    I can only speak for my little one but he hates bright light. I am not sure if that is an issue but I would assume light of that brightness coupled with no blocking of the sides and back of the tank would be quite stressful indeed.

    It's not that bright. It's a poor camera. And the hide on the left is covered on the sides

    You're getting there. However, BPs like their hides as tight as possible, almost like a turtle shell. Glad to see you're applying what you're learning, keep up the good work! We'll help you along the way

    Also what is the best time of day to feed him? I've heard late in the day so should I feed him like an hour before his light goes off? And yes I know to only feed him like once a week.

    Feeding at night is best. BPs are nocturnal animals, so most inclined to eat during their typical "awake" hours. I have snakes that will eat any time of day, but until they are well established eaters I always start them out eating at night. Being that I cook for a living I work a fair amount of nights, so I have been lucky and have been able to get away with some daytime feedings.
    But, that being said, I would feed at night if your schedule allows. Sometime after 8 or 9 would probably be best.

    I try to feed an hour after sundown. When I feed the room is just light enough that I can see the snakes move.
    Honest, I only need one more ...
