Looks good.
Are you suppling and additional heat?
They are escape artist. Giving too much access to the top might not be a good idea.

Looks really nice! Do you have any laurel trees around where you live? Those branches make *great* climbing sticks, because they are spiral shaped (random forestry-nerd moment).

Steve has a point.. My snake has a set of fake ivy vines leading up to the top of his cage, and always trys to use them to get out; he's not named Houdini for nothing! :D His cage top is custom fitted and weighed down with a book to keep him in though.

His capacity for escape is astounding ;) Seriously, I only got him because the petstore lady said that if I could catch the snake that had escaped, I could have it. He's very entertaining to watch when he gets in one of his 'escape' moods.

I have a similiar (spelling? haven't downloaded spellcheck yet! lol) set up except that I bought some of those fake vines at the dollar store and wrapped them around the branches. He loves hiding and basking among the leaves.

They love leaves!! Very good to have. they're semi'hides. They allow him to move around, but still feel hidden and secure.Helps with stress, and hiding all day

My new babies will all coil up on the fake plant I have in their enclosure. All 4 (no longer 5 :() will be around it in the morning. It's very cute.

My two babies have a looot of hides in their 10gal, but their favorite is the leaves. I cut off part of the bigger one i have in the back, and packed it tightly in the front corner. They're always there. Unless they're not. :D
