    Honestly, a good hide on the cooler side* & a good hide on the warmer side*, with a water bowl in the middle, & maybe some "leafy cover" like you already have around it is pretty much all you need. The hides have to feel secure though, to a snake- like the ones shown above. They don't go for what humans put in "House Beautiful" magazine- they don't want wide dramatic doorways or high ceilings.

    (*I hope you have the temperatures correctly adjusted? You want about 77* F. on the cool side & 88-89* F. on the warmer side. And be sure you're measuring the temperature of the floor, with no more than 1/2" of substrate if​ you're using UTH to heat-??? Understand that a snake that's not warm enough- in their opinion- is likely to refuse food- so temperatures are supremely important.)

    Btw, UTH = under tank heat

    And covering the sides for privacy is a good idea too- this snake was likely housed in a rack previously.
