You also would want 2 identical hides so the snake doesn't pick a favorite and then overheat or cool off too much. If that is a 5.5 gal tank it is not giving you much room to work with... A 10 gallon will give you enough room for 2 small hides and a 20L is what you'd get to set you up for the life of the snake. I had my young BP in a 10 gal but I just put together a 20L tank for my ball and got a TON of input from everyone on the forum so I just went through what you are going through now lol.
its a 10 gallon ha, guess it's hard to tell in the picture? But yeah like I said once it starts to warm up a bit and gain in humidity in about a month I think the screen top will be fine
