BP won't come out of hide on warm side?

You should have the probe of the thermostat on top of the under tank heater. Since it a little one set the temp to 92 degrees.

As far as shed boxes are concerned, i have to say im a big fan, I used one for my girl when she was shedding, http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...and-Snake-pics! you can see the outcome here, it worked fantastically with no issues. so i recommend it.

That is completely normal. They should stay in their hides majority of the time, and as long as your temps are correct I wouldn't worry about anything. They should spend a lot of their time on the hot side after they eat because they need heat to help them digest their food. One other thing is that if the hides are different sizes the snake will chose whichever hide it likes better regardless of their health.

I am going to keep a close eye on Slinky for the next few days. I checked on him earlier and his eyes aren't foggy or anything yet, but it could be coming. I am going to make him a wet hide with the moss this weekend just in case he needs extra moisture to shed.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Keep your substrate and just add the carpet underneath. Substrate will make it much easier to clean up nasty messes. If poop or urates get on your carpet and sit, you will have to take it out and wash it to get it out where you can just replace substrate. As for the moss hide, still a good idea.
