I'd stick with something 2/3 length the enclosure or smaller for UVB. For the plants, you can have an additional LED light that spans the entire enclosure.

I was hoping to only have one hood, but there is the four-socket hood that I could put one UVB bulb into, and the other sockets could be non-UVB LED's.

So while plants are nice and pretty, I wouldn't plan on them being the cover until they get more established and you see how they fair against your snake's strength and weight.

Right now, he's still a baby. He's in a small tank while I'm getting the big one ready. He recently discovered he can fit comfortably under the log I put in. I'm glad he found that spot because I was worried he was uncomfortable with his previous spot wedged between the actual hide and the corner of the tank. Yeah, he doesn't like his coconut hides. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that right now, the plants I have planned are moss, Kruass' clubmoss, sword fern, and a spider plant. I think these are things that will likely hold up, at least while he's young. I'd like to put a stout tree in there as well if I can.
