    About the underground cave.

    two identical cave-like (meaning one opening) hides are the most suitable and most used hides for beeps since they offer more security than the hides you currently have. the RBI hides linked my MissterDog offer this for your snake.

    if we look at your hides (im recalling from memory): they are not identical, one has two openings, and the other has one large opening.

    clutter is a definite must. along with proper hides, clutter will help the snake feel less exposed and less stressed.

    if i recall, your temps were good could you give us a temp rundown again?

    I believe what he was trying say is, to use a box with some substrate in it to turn the half log hides into sort of a cave.

    Get a box and fill it up a bit with substrate and place the hides inside and kinda bury one half of the log underneath the substrate that way there is only one opening, kinda like a cave lol. That way it feels more secure for him.

    Did that help a bit?

    I believe your temps were just fine, ambient at 83 and humidity at 50-60% with a UTH hotspot correct?

    Hopefully this will help clear things out, I've used what i could find to help represent what I meant.

    Get a box that's deep enough to hold some substrate and put your hide in. Mine is a sloped and heavily layered in sealant, which I unfortunately did a sloppy job at the time -_-

    Fill with substrate to cover as much as possible. You can also stuff the inside with paper towels.

    I'm using the unused half of my AP cage to show how it may look in the cage.

    Now time to get crafty! Rip up that paper towel and have it serve as some cover. Having some drape over the opening, over paper towel tubes, ect. Even a cereal box can be used as a 'wall' to be a good visual barrier. It won't look pretty but as a temporary solution it can help.

    Hope this helps.
