I've purched a little corn a few weeks back, and he'd been using the watering bowl (i have one shaped as a rock) as his hide. I admit he doesn't really have any proper hides apart from two toilet-paper rolls, which is why i never really bothered worrying. The only thing that worried me was the fact that the bowl itself is pretty heavy and if something goes wrong, he's practically going to be crushed by it.

What really bothered me, however, is the fact that i bought a BP last week, with a huge enclosure and a hide (and a huge piece of bark for climbing and whatnot). Its practically heaven and YET even he ends up hiding under the bowl! I don't use any heating equipment because my room is hot during summer (around 25-ish +). Is it because it's probably the wettest (and most humid) part of the tank?

I mean if only one snake liked hiding under the bowl then i'd understand that it's just something he likes doing, but BOTH snakes in completely different vivs? I just don't get what i'm doing wrong. The bowls are quite heavy and i'm afraid of hurting them everytime i try to lift it!
