    Re: My ball hasn't come out of her hide in over 2 days, should I be concerned?
    Once again a hiding ball is a happy ball... If you have only had it for a week she is still trying to get settled in and unstressed from the move.. WhT do you men big roll??? Kinda confused about this like a paper towel roll????? If your husbandry all checks out then you have nothing to worry about

    I tried one and it wouldn't let me. It was this big cardboard tube, basically an over sized paper towel roll, that the rug I bought from Walmart was wrapped around

    I would work on getting some hides that are plastic or some water proof easy to clean hides the cardboard tube will become unsanitary. Can you describe the setup just to double check if it all pan out then you have no worries

    The only reason I put it in its because she was stressed I need to get her two new identical hides. But I have a 55 gal tank with a screen on top and a wet towel to control the humidity. A heat light and a heat pad on the left side. Cypress mulch substrate. And a half log hide and a rock lookin hide

    The hides don't need to be identical .just same size. The half logs are not the best but if the rock hide is a good size then just pick up another And pull the tube and halflog out. 55g is pretty big for a bp that size. It will hide more because that's how they would in the wild. The live in termite mounds and wait for food leaving under the cover of night. If you are going to use that tank clutter it up with fake plants and stuff to provide some cover while moving through the tank. Are you using a thermostat with the uth? What are the temps at

    Im planning on picking up some clutter and hides with my next paycheck. But the rock is on the warm side and she has never been in it. I have a uth with thermo. Cool side is 74 am side is around 85. I can't seem to get the warm side to warm up to 90

    As long as ur thermostat is set to give a 90 hotspot they will move substrate around to get farther down
