Once upon a time I tried one of the Zilla 3D backgrounds that come with some of their 40 gallon breeders, but my BP would wedge himself behind it in such a way that I ended up just taking it out. I would hate for you to spend money on one of these really nice backgrounds just to have to constantly remove it if/when your snake gets stuck behind it. Not to mention the cleaning issues. I love the stick on aquarium backgrounds that most fish stores sell, they cling to the back of glass enclosures and give you a cool background, but I prefer not to use anything inside the enclosure other than normal décor. Hopefully if you're set on using these someone has some more experience with them, but for me the inserts like that just didn't work out.
