| I don't know about hiding the food, but if you want to keep her interested, then just change the hot/cold ends round and move the ornaments every now and then. |

hiding food isn't a great idea, it'll get covered in substrate that the snake could potentially ingest which is dangerous. like Mulv says move things round every now and again, or introduce new items. frequently handling also provides mental and physical stilmulation for them. they don't get bored half as quickly as humans remember  |

Where is the heat coming from?
Do you have hides at the hot and cold end? |

I only ask as reptiles are cold blooded, so need both cool and hot areas to regulate their temperatures and if the only hide they have is at the hot end they will stay there regardless. So best to get a hide at the cool end if possible too.
Sure you can squeeze something in, they like to be snug anyway |
