Hi

I actually did that when ours was the same size as yours - we had such trouble keeping steady temps and humidity in the plastic one she was in that the wooden viv we use for our reptiles seemed much the better way to go - we've never had problems with those.

The viv was (still is) the same size as the one you're thinking of. Like Daniel (after consulting with people here) I did all the screwing up of newspaper balls and we had in 3-4 hides and plastic foliage (it looked so dense in there and like she hardly had room to move). She went in with no problem - continued eating and everything. She has always been a calm snake and never easily stressed - it may be different with others of course. But this is just my 2 cents worth ... (or pence as it is here in UK!)
