Hide too small?

I just got my new female adult yesterday, and had the tank set up before she arrived. She is about 1590g, and the breeder recommended a 20g tank since she was previously living in a rack/tub. So I had these giant rock caves all ready for her, but she was bigger than I envisioned, and had to squeeze herself into them.

According to the sticky on hides, I should be using (something like) either an XL Zilla cubbyhole or small litter pan, since she's right at the edge weight-wise. Problem is, there's no WAY I could fit two of those - at least not the litter pans - into her 20g tank! Since they are supposed to have two identical hides, what do you suggest? Here are a few pictures, so you can see if the current hides are too small... I know they like being in tight spots, but this seems to be pushing it.

She managed to stuff herself in there, but I swear it lifts up every time she breathes! :D

Nope looks perfect!!!!

Sweet, thanks! I was going to be upset if they were too small, since I paid $25/each and can't return them (got them in San Diego). :oops: Amazing how they can stuff ALL of that into such a small space... huh?

LOL at that story... they can be silly sometimes! :D:D

Honestly, she probably likes them that snug. My first BP also moved the hide every time she breathed lol but she loved it. They like feeling really snug and cramped almost. I would leave it be.

Thats perfect size no to lose and not to tight just the right size so she can slip in and out.
