rack system hides

I currently offer one hide each to all of my balls in racks. The racks are black and three-sided. Some of them never use their hides, and some love them. One reason I offer them each a hide is to take up sme of the open space in the tub. Hiding behind a hide might be enough security for a certain snake.

because i use more of a "sideways" style, more light gets in so i use hides. some snakes use them some don't. if i notice they are never in there hides i take them out and see if they still eat. if they do eat, i'll keep the hide out.

I use aspen in my rack, and it is one of the open sided racks that I built myself. it is good and I put one hide in the back over the heat, they seem to like it fine. they sit in there and come out when they want and I have no worries.

I have both types of racks, and I offer hides and the hides get used. I assume that since they are using them, that means they like them. The ones in the open fronted rack do spend more time in the hides than those in the more enclosed rack.

I use a three sided rack system with heat tap on the underside of the back of the tub, I only provide a water dish they will go to the back of the tub if they need privacy. I find that 50/50 of the time they are at the back or the front, and they eat like champs. For the hatchlings on the other hand I provide 2 hides just because i can. I also use aspen for my base.
