If you significantly change the decor of a snake's viv, do you have treat it like a new purchase (i.e., give the snake a week or so of settling-in time)? I'm thinking of either breaking the 2 large pieces of wood into smaller ones or just buying new wood. Both pieces are just a millimeter or two shy of the depth (front to back) of the viv, so every time I take them out to clean, it's a big job to put them back in in the exact same position without smacking the glass fifty times, since all of the irregular branches keep getting tangled on each other.

She must just prefer it there 
Don't worry about upsetting her by changing things (if you were), she'll find somewhere else she likes to sit just as much.
And no I wouldn't say you'd need to treat it as though it was a completely new home (my opinion only!) - I've never heard of anyone noticing their snake appears to be extremely stressed after some redecorating anyway.
(I used to occasionally change my boy's viv around, nothing huge just moving various objects he used to climb on/in when he was younger, and I always woke up the next day to find things distinctly "disarrayed". Yes I learnt very quickly NOT to mess with His Lordship's Castle :grin01: )
