go out and find yourself some nice gum tree branches, strip all the park clean them and do everything needed to make them sanitised, inclusing treating the branches for mites. this can be done by spraying your tank with all tank furnishings and no snake with top of decent. just make sure you can clean the branches and attach them securely. i srew mine into the enclosure, otherwise i use screw in hooks and eyelets so that i can take braches out.

2 nice climbing branches well anchored yet able to be removed for cleaning. i use hooks and eyelets screwed into the enclosure walls and into the nice ghost gum branches i love.
One hide box. Light globe size or smaller for hatchies, toilet roll one for littlies and the paper towel roll for bigger, or the black plastic tray chicken thigh fillets and kebabs come in, or a shoebox...all free
One water bowl broad and shallow the snake cannot upset
4 layers of newspaper with the pretty girl page facing up. you will be looking at it until next poo so make sure it's interesting

As someone mentioned ghost gums are good, so are scribbly gums for your branches. Clean them up really well, lacquer them so they are easy to clean, and then put them in the enclosure and give the whole thing a spray with 'Top of descent' to kill any mites or other 'bugs'.

All you need is :
2 hide boxes one on each side of the enclosure
1 heavy or ceramic bowl one to put water in
2 branches for your snake to shed and rub against and to climb on
can any one add on?
