Should ball pythons have a hide?

Should ball pythons have a hide why or why not? Should they have a hide in a rack? should they have a hide in a glass aquarium? Vote and post your reply!

They need to have at least two hides in a tank, there's not really any "should they" about it. In a rack, it's not necessary, but mine get one.

lol your planning on breeding ball pythons soon and you dont even know if they should have hides?

Yeah they should :gj:

People come here to ask questions and get solid answers. He may use hides for his already, but that might not stop him from asking the question (and it shouldn't). Sometimes it's just cool to see how others do things.
If I were to house in an aquarium type tank I would offer multiple hides. Most of mine kept in racks don't get one. I do, however place an extra sheet of paper loosely and they hide under that. It covers the entire tub, so they can go wherever they want temp wise and still be covered.

There's a history within his threads, and it would be nice not to see it repeated over and over is all I'm sayin.

Which end of the tub do you put it, the hot side or the cool side?

I place the hide on the warm side for the ones that have them. They'll move them around to suit their self.

Same here. They'll move it around or dig themselves down to the bottom of the tub, or just choose not to use it.

i keep one on the warm and cool side.
