I’m curious, why is this too big? They aren’t stuck in super tiny tubs naturally. What is wrong with it?

Not with proper hides. You can create small spaces inside large spaces, just like tubs are small places in large rooms, hides are small spaces in enclosures. It’s not complicated.

False I would appreciate if you stop giving advice that are wrong and will mislead a new owner especially considering you do not own, nor have bred or troubleshoot hognose snakes.

And for your knowledge hognose do not use hides.

I agree Godzilla I have a 55 gallon tank with a hatchling bp in it. Multiple hides and plants and he is a happy camper. He eats he flys around at night a crowded space is the same as a small space.

I only asked your logic. It makes no sense to me, but perhaps you can explain it. I don't accept opinions at face value, with no reasoning behind it. I have no experience, but experience doesn't equal infallibility.

Amazing how people who get lucky with 1 or 3 snakes, they have owned for a very limited amount of time can now also give advice (that are not based on experience) and act like they know everything even giving advice on other species they never owned :rolleyes:.

Good luck with that from now own I'll just post pictures since experience means nothing, I'll live it to the expert......works for me. (no wonder no knowledgeable breeder wants to post here anymore)
