It's been done.

Captivity is NOT The Wild.

We don't, NONE of us, not a single arrogant mother's son of us, know what these guys really think.

Who's to say they don't hide more because there are more hides but NEVER think of hiding when there are none. Or maybe it just doesn't bother them. Maybe burrowing in substrate is enough. Maybe a piece of newspaper to crawl under is every bit as good as a termite mound.

How do we know whether it is or not?

By how successfully we keep our snakes.

They've been successfully kept without any hides at all.

Therefore, they need no hides.

See how easy it is.

You do it your way and your snake is fat and seem happy. I do it my way and my snake is fat and seems happy.

Why argue over who's right when it's obvious that we both are?

There is rarely ONE way to accomplish a goal.

This is true, but it also can depend on the snake. :]

If someone has a problem feeder and comes on here with questions usually the first suggestion is to get two hides for security, and it is often part of the problem.

My ball doesn't need a hide.. he goes under the newspaper anyway.. :P

Nice setups! I love that pastel.
