Does this look like a good setup for a baby corn snake?

Hey all!

So today I went out and bought all the stuff that i'll need for my first baby corn snake and just wanted to ask if it looks like a good setup. Here's a picture.

As you can see, i'm using ReptiBark as substrate, have two hides, a water dish big enough to soak in, a rock and climbing branch from outside(Sterilized, of course), and some fake foliage.

The two black bars on the back of the terrarium are thermometers.

Also, i'm not sure if you can see in this picture but I also have a pair of those non-locking cage clips from Zilla, I only bought one pair because I thought that was all I would need but by the looks of it i'll need to get one or two more.

So does this look like a good setup to you? Tell me what you think.

It looks pretty good. I would definitely get some more clips. Baby snakes are extremely good at escaping. I am not a fan of that type of lid for that reason. I prefer the sliding locking lids. Just something to consider when you upgrade the tank size.

I would also recommend some more hiding places. You can use toilet paper tubes cut in half lengthwise if you don't want to spend any more money. Fake vines from the dollar store are also great for adding ground cover. It will make your new baby feel much more secure and it will make the tank look nice too.

Yeah ...same . Has great potential but I'd keep it looking lovely and natural by adding the aforementioned vines and/or some more branches .. it will enjoy climbing as they do so in the wild and the cross over branches will automatically create more hiding places ...

Alright guys, thanks for the suggestions!

I don't really want to spend all that much more money so I could use a paper towel roll as a third hide. My only problem with that is that it would probably look a bit out of place in there.

My idea was that I could buy some more of that vine stuff and wrap it around the roll to make it look a bit more natural. I could also lay out some more of it around the bottom of the terrarium as well.

I don't really want to get a second climbing branch as then I would need to go out, find one that fits the tank, sterilize it, ect ect. Though the vine stuff is surprisingly sturdy, and if I was buying more of it anyways I could probably hang it from the wall and let her climb on that.

What about scouring the dollar shops for fake foliage ..
