Leave hides in during pairing???

I was just wondering if everyone leaves their hides in while pairing. Thanks

I dont have hides really. My best breeding pair doesnt have hides, and theyre doing great. Actually expecting an ovulation based on the signs any week now.

I leave them in depending on if the pair uses them. one of my pairs happened to lock under the hide so i left it. others stay outside so i took them out until i separate them.

I don't use hides often, but I do take them out if there does happen to be a hide in one of the females tubs.

Take em out.. less distractions

I take then out less stuff to move around and easier to see the snakes if they are locked without distrubing them. then I return the hides on the 3days off.

With some snakes, I've taken them out, while others who are a bit more "sensitive" I've left their hides in with them. Both ways work. Just have to know your snakes. :)

With larger females I take them out, just to give the pair more room (I keep all adult balls in cb70s)
