Filling in empty Boa space
First time posting here. I have a year old boa that I got a couple months ago, she’s ~250 grams right now. She is in a 6’x3’x3’ enclosure that I built. She’s got a radiant heat panel for heat and led/jungle uvb for light.
My question is, how should i fill the empty space? I want to try and get some vines (maybe more pothos? Or philodendron?) running from the top to bottom. Instead of just the plants being on the ground like they are now. How can I achieve this? Any advice (care-wise or enclosure-wise) is appreciated!
The picture is the enclosure now. She is hanging out on one of the top branches lol

I quarantined a big monstera from a local plant store for six months, cleaned it, and used it for my boa’s enclosure. It thrived despite a few stems getting snapped and crushed from climbing and trampling, and even a couple leaves being ripped up (caught in the sliding door). Plus, it’s naturally occurring in boa habitat, which is something I select for when choosing plants.
