    paper with texture that won't squash down (like a brown paper bag) and crumple several pieces of it...put some inside the large cave & also stick one in the
    doorway, so it blocks it partway. Then see if he'll go in & stay there?

    Snake don't read "House Beautiful"...they don't like high beam ceilings & dramatic entryways... they only care if it feels right.
    I agree with this, pretty much entirely.

    I have a LG RBI hide that is way too big for my BP, but I've added some rocks and moss inside to make it "snug" for him. He uses it regularly.

    P.S. your setup looks great. Be careful with that skull too. One day you'll come home or wake up to a snake stuck, wedged inside those eye holes. Not fun, and dangerous for the snake.
