i can see snake breathing and breathes are about 1 sec apart

Agreed. Try to feed what it has been fed. You can add additional food for a more varied diet later.

Ok

Coconut shell halves make a great hide. You can buy one at the grocery store and clean it out yourself or but one at the pet store already halved and cleaned. I like cleaning them myself, yummy!

It's a lot cheaper to do-it-yourself also.

Also egg cartons work well too. Most of my snakes like to burrow so maybe think about getting something they can dig in like aspen shavings or carefresh. You'll want to be sure to monitor the temps and humidity too. I keep my cool side around 75°F and the warm side around 85°F. Humidity between 45% and 55%. Try and keep the light the same as outside too, since it's wild caught it knows it's nights and days better. Some helpful tricks for a less timid snake are to put you hand in the enclosure and just let your snake come to you without picking it up. Also give food after handling, they will associate you with that.
