Help please!

I'm a first time snake owner and I'm concerned about my little guy. He has one hide that he will go to regardless of what side of the tank it's on (hot/cool) and stay there. I'm concerned he's not thermoregulating properly. What should I do?

Are you using multiple hides and are the hides identical?

[Merlin's_mama]

He has two hides one on each side of the tank and no they aren't identical. I've tried finding another like the one he prefers but I can't. I purchased the tank set up already put together.

He feels more safe and secure in the hide he is choosing. Best thing would be to order some hides from Reptile Basic that are the same size. Depending on your BP size I've found the medium hide worked the best. The large was a bit to big so I had to take that out.

I'll try that thank you.

I would either buy two that are similar to the ones you have so that they're identical or contact the company you got the set-up from. They will probably be happy to ship you another one like the one he prefers.

well as stated he likes the one he is using better get two that are the same he will be fine

Reptile Basics hides are the only ones I will use. They are awesome. Sturdy, easy to clean and the snakes seem to really like them.
