Believe me, having them partially buried in substrate doesn't stop Yigg from scooting them around. He can't push them across the tank or anything but he does fine when it comes to thermoregulation. So not actually a problem at all :gj:!

A snake shouldn't HAVE to "move" it's hide. That's a little crazy to even say in my opinion.

EDIT I would also do away with the green carpet

I have a humidifier in my room and it keeps the room at the proper humidity and I'm planing to get rid of the eco carpet. :)

Hi there EatBread :-)
Pls indicate in which part of my post I used the word "should"
You can copy/paste it right here. :-)
Re: what does your snake cage look like?
I know they "recommend" 50% for humidity. But I assure you. If you can get it to 65-70%, you'll never have an issue with sheds. That's just my opinion though. I'm a novice. Don't listen to me. Lol... it's not dangerous to the snake and from what I've seen, it just makes life easier.

You never said they should. I never said you did. But you were definitely implying that snakes will do it because they prefer to or like to, and I just don't really agree with that.
if you have the hides in the proper area across the temperature gradient, they won't have to risk their bodies by moving a heavy rock hide or whatever the case may be.

Radical Gio. Just, well... radical! :)
Didn't you say the ambient lighting changes colors? Or has the option to?
