Heavily decorated/tons of hides and spots to perch of course.
    I wouldn't worry about moving her again to her adult enclosure when it's ready- ALTHOUGH, moving this time into the 10 gal. should be very predictive of future moves, if you know what I mean?

    Snakes of the same species all still have their own personality- some bolder than others. I'd make sure that for each move, she has plenty of hides & cover, & just some time to settle in. By that time she'll also know you better too, & less fear in a pet snake is always good.

    The 6' x 2' x 2' size should be fine for all or most of her life- depending on her genetics & tendency to grow- again, there's always some unpredictability in the ultimate size that any snake will attain, "just because". Remember that lifespans vary quite a bit too- snakes grow their whole life- it just slows down, the older they get- so it depends on how healthy + lucky + genetically predisposed [to get huge] she is.
