Ball Python cage setup?

for those of you who know, i am moving my ball python to a 110 gallon aquarium, i need some help decorating though, i want to go all out and make it like an actual jungle, i spoil her so much haha. any ideas? its six feet long, 1 1/2 feet tall, and 2 feet wide..so any ideas on hides, branches, vines, etc. thanks ..she’s only 2 1/2 feet long
I hope you read my answer to your other question. As I said before, do not “upgrade” to the 110. Your snake should be kept in the 40 as that is the perfect size for an adult ball python. Any bigger can lead to major stress and feeding problems.
As for decorating, you can buy a lot of different fake plants at pet stores and Wal-Mart. Pet stores also sell some neat wood/stick pieces for reptile cages. If you want to use wood you found yourself, you should bake it first to kill any parasites.
I like to spoil my ball python too. If wear you live there is a Micheals ( decor, arts and crafts, pictures, ect.) they have nice big vines and fake plants, and at petsmart they have all kinds of fake trees and in the fish section is where you can find all kinds of hides and small trees for your snake to climb on. All so i tried putting bark in there to give it a more jungle look but my snake did not like it.
