I'll just add one thing as I agree with the above suggestions and the floor of cage is likely too HOT (& heat rises, so the vines may be just about right now, but
you do want him to be able to safely use his "hides"). We aren't seeing the size of the hides, and even if they're a good match for his size, what snakes ALSO
like is "back pressure" (a close, snug feeling) as well as something to cling to...that may also be why he loves the vines. Instincts tell snakes to hide for safety
and he feels safe there...so maybe (AFTER you lower the floor temp. to not more than 90*) also add something to his hides to make them more cozy: a piece
of vine, or a crumpled paper towel might do the trick, or even some moss (& if you soak some sphagnum moss in water first, that makes for a "humid hide" which
many of our snakes love & even need for good shedding). Congrats on the beautiful "little one" and also for paying close attention to do the right habitat for him-
you'll get there, I'm sure.And
