I'm glad Hugsplox mentioned that you might want to add more climbing opportunities- I thought so too, but I figured your new snake might be a bit shy at first anyway- but yes, they seem to LOVE natural branches- straight things (like wooden dowels) not so much. You can add things -it doesn't all have to be there right from day one. I think some snakes (especially these & also rat snakes) enjoy "new furniture" to explore & climb on, as opposed to being upset by "changes".
