    I just went through the same thing my littlest guy outgrew his hides so i simply switched them with the medium hide which he used right away just swap them out.

    Ok update time: she shed in 4 days lol one day of rest, then she feed (and boy was she hungry lol) i got her Old hide and her new hide in there with her and she still won't go in it lol. Granted she did just feed last night, but y'all think i should leave then both in there for a few weeks? She seems awfully picky about moving into a new cave lol

    If it were me id just take the old one out. With just the new one as her only option im sure she will use it.

    just let her use the old one until she REALLY outgrows it.


    They are a bit like hermit crabs, when a hermit crab is used to a shell you can offer as many alternatives as you want to, they will be ignored until the old one really gets too small.

    Besides, when the hide physically gets too small and the snake keeps using it, there will be plenty of opportunities to make funny pictures for threads like http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...you-use-a-hide

    dont worry :)
