Do be very careful about using "aquarium" decor for snakes: many have VERY sharp edges inside that would NOT affect the fish they're intended for,
but which WILL cut your snake to shreds if he cluelessly tries to squish inside. Also, make sure that ALL decor (hollow logs etc) have NO openings that
your snake might get stuck in...they don't know any better than to try a tight squeeze, and they cannot back up because of the direction of their scales.

Many wild snakes die every year in bird netting & similar fence materials that people use in their garden...they get part-way in & get stuck. Those
attractive cholla logs also come to mind...they might be fine for tiny geckos but snakes can get stuck in those too. It's impossible to safely cut away
driftwood or plastic aquarium decor once your snake gets stuck in a tight opening.

I second this. if you do some searching on the forums you'll find stories of snakes that actually got stuck inside aquarium decor. These guys can and will squeeze themselves into places you'd think impossible - and getting them out can be a trick. I would recommend something like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UCDIBMY...528219186&sr=2

I know they aren't as pretty as the decor, but they're functional, inexpensive, and safe. Get a few so you can switch them out for cleaning

Also, did you say what your humidity was and/or how your were monitoring it?
