Seems a bit bare. Why not put more stuff in there? Though I don't know much about snakes.

He's extremely beautiful though.

Good question, yes it might look better but that is also bacteria grow in higher humidity enclosure, I keep it like this is easlier to clean.

EdmondAren't they meant to be hiding in foliage though? At least, that's my understanding of them.

Yes in the wild they were meant to be hiding among trees and leaves, it is kinda of a trade off because this little guy is captive bred, he already adopted the enclosure that he was kept by the breeder. With the enclosure that we set up has less air throw than the open wild, because of wram and higher humidity, bacteria will grow and cause problems. I just don't want this happen.

I know Edmond already addressed it but this set up is perfectly fine for this species. It's really basic but it's ideal. You can add some fake plants if you wanted to for your own eyes but the snake doesn't care.

Im not sure if I would totally agree with you on that Aaron. These are pretty shy snakes, and they do seem to prefer to be hiding if they are given the choice. Im not saying its totally necessary, just that they do seem to have that preference.

I was just asking. I'm just a big fan of providing a setup that's as natural as possible. :)
