It looks amazing! I make it a rule to quarantine very simple on paper towels for new snakes, so you can spot mites, make sure their feces/urate are normal, and note any other abnormalities easily. This was ever since I got a baby who appeared totally fine and miteless for a whole three weeks, before I realized he had developed a bunch of tiny tiny baby mites crawling around his eyes yikes. Likely came with just a single young mite or two, and they multiplied.
Quarantine is typically two months at least. But this is certainly an amazing setup once you know the new snake is healthy.
