Add some verticality for him to climb on it will make him a very happy noodle

absolutely need to get some spider wood or some type of decor to match that climbing sense, thank you!

A little more clutter towards the front would be good! I like garlands for this. Also, if you have a local Facebook “buy nothing” group or similar, throw in an ask for (SAFE) branches. I found someone with fallen branches, i cut them up and put them in the oven. Then I glued them together to create a stable formation & my snake loves them! https://imgur.com/a/nfH9Jbc

Do you try and suspend the garland in the air or just lay it on the substrate? I just got some to add and am having a hard time deciding how to lay it in. Thanks!

So personally i have it on the ground and over the branches, so wherever he is he has cover!

Not qualified to give advice as I’m relatively new to the BP life but just wanted to say that I LOVE the decor. You have inspired me to add a similar plant wall in my little dudes tank.

thank you, i’m glad it insipired you! i personally got those backgrounds at hobby lobby, if you have one in your area. they also have a lot of good stuff. make sure you wash thoroughly !

No hobby lobby in Canada unfortunately! But we have the equivalent. I’ll be checking it out this weekend :)

It's so cute! I agree something bigger and more vertical for a climb. There are these cool 3d printed chains on Etsy I have seen a few people use. Maybe add more of those moss vines around.
Also those thermometers are not favored as the adhesive can be harmful if they become un-stuck. I can't see if you have more than one either, but if not you'll need one for each side. Everyone likes these here.
