just an anecdote i find amusing. my baby bp has yet to discover his hot-side hide is something he can actually get into. he's currently chilling on top after having wedged himself between the hide and the wall of the aquarium. I suppose maybe he just prefers slightly cooler temps than what he found on the floor. on a side note the first thing my mom asked when i sent her pics of him was, "are you sure it can't kill you?"
