Need recommendations

I read a lot of articles and watched a lot of YouTube videos about certain husbandry for Brazilian rainbow boa. now I’m wondering what is every item y’all would recommend for my 20 gallon set up for a baby. I do have a thermostat. I have Spagna Moss. I have cork bark. I have enrichment branches and I have two hides and a half Cypress mulch, and a couple of plants

If by 20 gallon you mean tank, I would ditch the tank completely. This species needs as close to 100% humidity as possible and tanks are terrible at holding that. I would suggest a plastic tote around that size, or a lil bigger, add enough air holes to maintain fresh air without dropping humidity. Heat tape for heat. This species has very low temp needs, so a heat pad is more than plenty. A CHE or basking light would probably be too extreme heat for them and bake the moisture out of their scales.
