I don't know what you have in all the lights, but three seems like overkill if they are all emitting heat. the classic canundrum that seems to come around every day like it's ground hog day on this forum is how to heat using heat lamps while at the same time not loosing too much moisture out the screen top that is required for using heat lamps. the question often comes down to what can be done with someone's set up without making them go start from scratch. I've found ways around heat lamps but it's involved. so looking at what you have, a simple adjustment would be to add tin foil to the top, mostly sealing up around the lamps (make a cut out in the foil for the lamps), maybe cutting back to one lamp (depending on what type of bulb you are using), using a nigh time heat lamp. there is no need to alternate between day and night bulbs. you want to hold in more moisture and some of the heat, but not too much. buying a heat gun is the best way to nail down the temp. for a nocturnal ground dwelling snake, surface temps within the hide and the surface temp of the snake'd body is what you really need to be aware of. probes are problematic, they get moved, they tell the temp of the air right where they are and if they get peed on or pooped on, it can throw them off, especially humidity probes. 80 degrees on the cool end, 90 on the hot, two identical hides, one on each end, these things give the snake a chance to choose for the ideal temp. with this kind of temp gradient my temp gun shows a body surface temp on the snake of about 82-85 f most times I check. I get annoyed when I see a temp below 78 or above 92.

it's important to get that what we all are compelled to do in terms of placing decorations in the tank is mostly for our own enjoyment. if these snakes feel safe, have food in their belly and are well hydrated and at the right temp, they prefer to stay hidden, ideally in a burrow, ideally a burrow in a termite mound, a burrow made by another critter, perhaps the one it ate. most of the space that we most readily monitor is space it won't occupy much of the time. the most important place to monitor the temp and humidity is in the hide(s), IMHO.

it looks like you put a lot of good work into your set up and with a few adjustments will likely be a happy home for your snake in short order, nice work!
