I'm still gonna dry out the cypress mulch and put in in a storage box, at least I won't run out of substrate right away, altho rn I'm loving the Coco Terrain/Jungle Earth combo. If XS is too tight for my boy, I'll just crumple up a few paper towels and put them inside each hide, thanks so much for that tip.

Omg you're way ahead of me in ink, I have to catch up lol. I'm getting some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs done on my inner forearm, the one after that will be the snake tattoo on my neck, I just figured since my financial situation actually allows me to get tattoos done now, I should go ahead and do it while I can lol. That idea is so cool though, that ink would look sick. I want at least two snake tattoos (one on my neck/behind ear, one on my wrist), I've always loved snakes even long before I was able to buy one, I've been wanting a bp for the past 3 years, so hyped and excited to /finally/ pick him up from the breeder tmrw, she only lives like 10 minutes from where I live.
Yeah, I think either way you'll be fine with the hides. And I'm glad you're ahead of the game with functionality being more important than visual appeal. Learning the husbandry ins and outs takes time and experience. Once you feel confident in your knowledge and experience you can start playing with things that are more impressive to the eye. Snakes tend to be a bit more forgiving with not going "by the book" as adults than with juveniles. So as your snake grows, you continue to learn. By the time your snake is an adult and more confident and comfortable and less fearful of being a prey item, you'll have the knowledge and experience to modify the enclosure a bit.

I like that substrate combo as well. I use the same combo with good results.

GGGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Now I want ink even more, hahahahaha!!!!

Good luck with your new snake!! Share some pics when you first get him home before you let him settle in for at least a week.
