Almost there. Put the moss inside a small tub and cut a hole in the side big enough for your snake to go inside. That way the wet never touches the aspen.
If that one hide has paper towel in it then pull it out and stuff that moss in. Now thats way better than before. I love it when people actually listen to advice given. Good move. Your snake will be much better off. It kills me how many people post shedding problems on here and then say "well my humidity is at 60%" when its posted all over to have 70%+ and more when shedding.
So lets see the snake
My new stuff came today so i wanted to update again i thank everyone so much for helping me understand what my new snake needs and not just brush me off as someone who's not willing to learn what needs to be done to have a happy snake!
Mar can and should definitely be eating bigger prey.. he looks skinny and almost a little dehydrated IMO. If you can get them locally/order them online, rats are going to be better for your little guy in the long run.
Yup Mar could eat 5 of those in one meal. Try a weened rat pup or small rat. It might look huge but Mar will put it back. He looks very dehydrated as said above. Wait a few days and offer a much bigger rat not mouse.
When choosing food for your snake choose an Item at least the same thickness as the largest part of the snake if not a bit larger. Your snake could be on small rats...
i have been trying all kinda food with him the other owner said Mar wasnt eating at all there for i didnt wanna just rush in and give him all of it at one time he had 2 little pink mice the two days ago then a fuzzy one today i didnt wanna over do it to start with... and i really didnt want to rush him i will feed mar one more pink mouse and i fuzzy one 2 night. i get all my hiding stuff from petco! wonderful place i think they was like $8.99 ..and the other stuff came from amazon!

how can you tell a snake is dehydrated? and hmm really had no clue really other then the not eating thing how do u make a snake drink?
Increasing the humidity can help with the dehydration, also, make sure you replace the water in their dish often, as algae and other nasties can form causing your snake to avoid it.
Mar looks like he's quite thin. He can eat prey MUCH larger than what you show in that video. The prey should be a bit bigger than the LARGEST part of his body (his girth). They CAN get large prey through that seemingly tiny head and neck
Upping the humidity will help with hydration. You can also offer the f/t rat wet, so that he has some fluids along with that prey. Change the water often so that it's fresh and no urates/feces or anything builds up in there.

i as i said the Mar was most likely super streested out being he was in the tank with the other snake before i got him he as everything he needs now so and he wouldnt eat for the old owner at all or so i was told the only thing i guess i can do is to give him what i can and keep him with fresh water... over the last 2 days he's had 3 lil pink mice and 2 big fuzzy mice...
his humidity is at 90% cool side at 70 degges hot said at 90 he stays on the hot side all the time in the rock hide over the UTH
how long do u think it will take him to get hydrated again? if in fact he is dehydration?
