If it was your new snake would have no issue adjusting. Clutter does not always work and a 10 gallons max is recommended as a starter cage for an hatchling BP (even 10 gallons need to be clutter) and when all fails do this https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-hatchling-101 to a T until fully adjusted and than move to a 10 gallonsHis tank setup is good I think
