Your snake is up on the branch as its trying to get close enough to the heat source, as well as find a sense of security. This is ok while he is younger, but it will be unrealistic for him to climb to heat once the animal gets much bigger. If you have the resources to change the setup I would go with a 20 gallon long tank, two hides and a water bowl for a bare minimum enclosure. Basking lamps work, but you need to be checking temps with a heat gun, and try to get the hot side as close to 90 deg as possible. Also, keep in mind that fluctuations in room temps will change basking temps, since the heat bulb cant be regulated by a thermostat.
Thank you for the reply and he has two hides i just took one out to clean since it looked a bit dirty thank you so much i always like to know as much as i can
