Fresh Bedding and a new Hide
did a full tank cleaning and put some fresh bedding for Ragnar this morning.
also got him a new hide (because hey, why not?)
He has not stopped investigating yet :rofl:
this is by far the most active we've seen him at this time of day.
here is his scoping out the new hide:

That's a really nice looking piece of enclosure furnishing, but I wouldn't call it a hide. Tough to hide in something with a door that large. I would characterize it as a ledge that provides some cover. It's a great addition, as long as it's not replacing a warm or cool side hide.

Looks great, but if he doesn't have a hide he's comfortable in he may stress. I hope he finds it to his liking though!
I dug it in deeper into the bedding (and piled more into it) so the opening is nowhere near as large. opening is mow more in live with those half log types you see at per stores
he seems to be enjoying it so far.

I agree with the previous posts- & those "half logs" are not proper hides for BPs either- they're way too open for a shy BP to feel secure. They should only be considered as extra cage furniture, not hides that replace those hides that are cozy.
I know it's fun to watch a snake explore new furnishings, but keep in mind that's all it is- not a properly "secure" hide. And a lot of activity from a BP may mean they're stressed, rather than having what we'd call "fun".

:rofl: I know what you mean. When it comes to housing snakes (especially those that like it very warm), the real "secret" is minimizing the air circulation to keep in the humidity. But the larger the enclosure, the harder it gets, even then.
