I too like tha background and agree to more hides. Instead of the water there for evapration..place a cup with soaked paper towels or cloth towels over the under tank heat pad...yes get one of those. I like to cover the top with plastic to raise humidity. Just leave and inch or 2 on each side for ventalation. I happen to like glass enclosures as uth's will not melt them and different woods can effect snakes especially when you add heat and humidity and factor in they are in there 24 hours a day and not exposed for short times as they would be in the wild with open ventalation. I would also try and get a circualr hide (circle basket flipped over with hole cut in it) this will give the snake more security with something touching it all around. I would ditch the light all together or use a much lower wattage house light for a very small heat addition and a day night cycle.
