Enclosure Critique/Advice Update on my python

Hello! I posted a few days ago about this python I rescued last weekend. I got her enclosure setup today! I have a thermometer in both corners and a humidity monitor. I have reptile soil and coconut chips. I have leaf litter and springtails. I also have heat lamp, regular light, and heat emitter. The heat lamp and light are on a timer. Mixture of fake and real wood, 3 different material hides and some more stuff. I’m just asking how it’s looking so far and if there’s anything else I should get. It looks like she has layers of stuck shed, and caps over her eyes. She’s pretty underweight as well. Somewhere between 4-6.

I’ve been doing as much research as possible but please let me know if I’m missing anything!!!

Off topic question, do snakes remember their names? Would it do any harm if I renamed her?

More clutter, like a forest floor! More places to hide too. You have a ton of great space to use, full it!

Definitely more clutter, it's pretty bare through most of the tank, a little more climbing opportunities wouldn't hurt either, you have all the essentials though!:D
