Why can't people follow your example and actually do research before jumping in to a new animal? I can tell you have done your homework and props for making a tank that large work.

Now just don't let us catch you saying you're throwing another one in there too because it's lonely.
I've been reading about em every night since about a week and a half ago. And this was coming from practically zero snake knowledge. I didn't look into switching types of food because I had originally planned on getting a hatchling and feeding it f/t from the start. The guy who gave him to me asked me if I wanted another, but I've read enough to know two together isn't for a beginner, if ever. To me, it seems too easy to just get another tank for another snake...
As far as doing research goes, it just seems obvious when it comes to a long term commitment to not get all caught up in the "OH ITS SO CUTE, IM TAKING IT HOME NOW!" mentality. Less stress too

Thanks for the comments

It's ok to lift up the hide to see if he's doing ok, right? Once a day or something...
