Maybe a feeding maze? Could place the food somewhere different each time for enrichment and would be great to explore.

Agree - a maze. You could just make one using cardboard boxes and postage tubes. Knowing my lot they'd just find the darkest, hardest to reach corner and sit in there! I made one for my mice a long time ago using cereal boxes, a bit of material sewn into a tube and toilet paper tubes, worked nicely for mice..but they're a bit different to snakes.

I love making stuff out of polystyrene. If you get big blocks of it you can carve it with a knife to make it look like rock and then paint it.
Ive made a few hides and a platform that my female uses quite a lot :)

Gonna make a full back piece for each viv next, need more poly though!
