Hi,
Just bear in mind the natural world you praise so much also lets them get eaten, injured and sick.
It is not always a case of replicating the natural environment being the best thing - and that's not taking into acount the impossibility of it unless your enclosure is the size of Africa and incliudes exact copies of the climatic and other conditions.
Just make sure you give the snake what it needs to flourish and it really won't care about the rest.
