In many of the set-up pictures I've seen here, the hides have been smooth plastic containers. Water dishes are similarly smooth.
When going into the shedding process, doesn't a snake need something rough to rub against? Or is all the smooth "furniture" enough?
I ask because our little guy may be starting to shed. One of the items that came with him is that half log, which I haven't used at all because it doesn't hide enough. However, the rough bark covering around it seems good for shedding. Does snakey need that roughness?
