Adding a new hide problem
Ok my girl is out growing her hide so i got bigger one. Figured no big deal, I'll just add the new hide to the tank and leave the smaller one in there till she adjusts. Well that's the problem lol she refuses to use her new hide. I've even tried taking her smaller one out and she still won't go inside it. Any suggestions? Do i just leave both hides in there in the hopes that she'll use the bigger one once she realizes its safe?
Thanks in advance:)

Nope not shy at all, loves being held, playing around in her tank, never had a feeding problem, sheds great one pieces. She'll even climb around on top if the new hide but will not get her whole body into it.

You could even guide her head in the entrance as you place her in the enclosure.
I tried that already, she won't go inside it if i try to guide her with the other one missing from the tank lol

Depending how much bigger the new hide is you could try filling it up with crumpled up news paper until is she full size for the new hide. Besides that I would just let her be, she will use the new hide eventually.

Is the new hide the same as the old, just bigger?

Hmm never thought of that, the entrance is bigger then her old one, maybe i could put in a fake plant to block some it so it looks smaller. Hmm good idea lol

Now your thinking at the snake's level. I use cork bark pieces to clutter the inside.
