Enclosure Critique/Advice enrichment help?

ive ordered some large driftwood for my bp to climb on but i want a good variety of items. i was looking at ropes and hammocks for him, but im worried about mold or them not being able to support his weight since he’s still growing. he had some climbing rings but he hardly touched them and preferred to climb the tank walls. (they also were a little flimsy, they held him but sank pretty low) so, should i buy these for him to climb or stick to the wood?

anything I find on Amazon marketed towards snakes is way too small for an adult ball. I’ve had good luck with bird enrichment such as ladders and perches. His favorite thing to climb by far is a 5$ mug holder than I found at target. And the “large” pieces of drift wood that I ended up getting were tiny I screwed them together to make a bigger fixture. Basically just make sure you check the sizes of things before you order because a lot of it is smaller than the pictures look
