    That's not how you use a hide!

    I'd like to see pics that people have taken of their ball pythons (or other snakes) misusing their hides, or using things that aren't intended to be hides. I've noticed that mine rarely use theirs like they are supposed to.


    I can't see you, so you can't see me!


    Like this?


    This hide is cold and wet!


    Why don't I fit?

    Oh man, if only I could count the number of times I found my girl just laying on top of her hide like that second pic there. Or you know, I find her laying like this for 20 minutes:

    My husband's spider baby had an ideal hide:



    And yes, that is my hubby's shirt pocket. Little Bitsy loved his shirt pockets.
