Oh my goodness I can't believe I didn't think to put his water bowl in there! This is my first time having an escaped snake so my only excuse is a mind overtaken with worry but that is a great addition! He drinks a lot of water (not in a concerning way though) so I just set his bowl near the above suggested tunnel, hides, and heat pad. Thank you!
