Re: Bowl Size/Hides Question
Two hides are more important than water bowl size in my opinion.
Your snake should barely fit into the hide. It should be very snug.
The food refusal is probably due to not having two appropriately sized hides. My snakes like to use their hides as hats. Their body falls out of them but they still go under them.
What is his hotside hide?
Re: Bowl Size/Hides Question
Hmm so maybe since they don't mind the hat effect I should get the terra cotta plant pots or plate bottoms. Anyone know which they like best out the two?
I am currently using a half log (hanging head down in shame) with vines covering both sides. However, on the bright side I truly have been shopping for something else since learning the logs aren't good.
So once I get the two matching hides and a smaller bowl, would it be best to let him re-settle in again for a couple days before I handle him or attempt to feed him again?
Thank you so much for you help and input!
Re: Bowl Size/Hides Question
Okay Kaorte, I took your advice and went out shopping again today for new hides. I actually found 2 plastic ones. It took a bit of cutting and some flames but they are both now perfect and identical:thumbsup: I also got a smaller water bowl. Tanveer doesn't soak anyway so I'm sure he won't mind LOL.
Now, am I right in guessing that he may be restless the next couple days since I will be completely redoing his tank tonight?! So I should probably go back to not handling him and just let him settle in again? (Plus I think I read somewhere here not to handle him till he stops refusing food). Please correct me if I'm wrong;)
Re: Bowl Size/Hides Question

Re: Bowl Size/Hides Question
The offer little security to the bp. Bp's prefer being surrounded on all sides with just a tiny opening. I would suggest getting a cave hide.

Re: Bowl Size/Hides Question
