Re: * Hide Boxes Question *
Think about it from the snake's point of view....
I love my hide...nice and snuggly and dark and secure....
Whew...it's getting a bit warm in here...I need to cool off....
.....no hide...scarey....can't sleep without a hide.....
.....stay too warm???....or stay out where some big eagle may grab me???
In other words...if you only have one hide, you force them to have to choose between proper thermoregulation and security. Hides are extremely simple and inexpensive to make. There's no reason to not provide them. The very BEST you can do for your snake is two identical hides in the two different temp zones of your enclosure.

Re: * Hide Boxes Question *
is it bad that i have 2 different looking hide boxes since one i bought and the other i just cut a hole in a tupperware container...
Re: * Hide Boxes Question *
well they should be identical. couldnt u just get a second tupperware i dont think there too expensive. and im sure the health and happiness of your animal are more important than a tupperware. my mom has yelled at me for taking hers but she gets over it lol

Well...I explained the reason why it's best to have two identical ones. YOU decide if it's bad. Maybe your snake will use both and not care. Maybe it won't. :confuzd: It's a simple thing to fix and not have to worry about one way or another. Up to you, though.
Re: * Hide Boxes Question *
its just that i bought a really nice hide rock for my snake and i dont want it to go to waste and just use another tupperware thing...

Why would you need 2 identical hides? I use a bunch of different hides and as long as they are small and the snake can cram their bodies in there, they don't seem to care much. I probably have 75 hides or so that I switch in and out as needed.
Re: * Hide Boxes Question *

I have lots of snakes! Do a search on hides and you will find my thread describing how I made cheap hides (Thanks to Adam for the idea!). They will cost you less than $1 each!
