Hides for 15qt tubs..

Hi i have 2 questions..does any body use non see thru tubs..because on utube i see BHB VIDEOS AND THEY LOOK LIKE THOSE TYPES OF TUBS.i thought they need daylight.. and the second question is i have 3 ball pythons weighing in at a 290,197 and 179 range..i am using 15qt sterlite tubs..i have two hides in them one on the hot side and one on the other side.. the one on the hot side is a water dish/hide and the other is a cocunut..it seems to be to tight in the tubs.....on the videos of BHB they only use a water dish. that is what it looks like to me with some mulch..does anybody have some pics so i can see how your tubs look like.. please help my balls out..thanks Richie

Are your tubs in a rack? Depends on your setup and what your snakes prefer. If they use the hides, id leave them. As for the light, i have my snakes in clear tubs that are in a rack with 3 sides on it so only one side get abit of light. I think whatever you go with, keep it regular.

yes they are in a rack

I use 1 hide in my 15qt tubs, they just scoot it to where they want it. she is about 321g now, kept in a rack.
