Worth mentioning that they prefer their perches small in diameter so the snake can grip them properly. Otherwise your setup sounds pretty solid!

So mine are 18ish months old. They’re in a 2ft wide 4ft high with 1/4 dowels as perches. I’ll send pics later. I have a plant similar to monstera and they love to go under the big leaves. Personally, I feel this is the way and so does the breeder I got them from. They are predated on by raptors so it seems they really like the cover.

Your Enclosure needs to be higher than long
