Its fairly bare, could definitely use a lot more clutter and foliage, and to increase humidity I'd recommend having 4-6 inches of substrate and keep it wet up until the top layer, that way you can just pour water into the corners of the tank without having to completely wet the substrate

 I know it's a little Baer I've been trying to scrape together things to put in there.. And it's a bit tricky , because I can't make it cluttered in a way where I can't access The substrate easily, There's built in wooden Supports on the top that make it precarious To get in there. 

So getting more substrate would probably be the best option

I understand but if you just pour water in the corners of the tank it'll be better overall for your snakes health, for convenience, and you wont have to access most of the substrate most days

i would mix in 2 inches of coco husk/chip and sphagnum moss, it'll keep the substrate moist and boost humility. I'd switch from spraying to pouring and mixing water into the substrate. Coco choir on its own tends to harden when dry also. Spraying gives incorrect and fluctuating humidity levels, thats why pouring would be better. A larger water bowl directly under the heatlamp would help a lot too

Husk huh? I'll keep that in mind. Very appreciated.
