    I always use side, only way I would do top would be if it was a humid hide and bellow the depth of the substrate.

    Some people dont even give them hides and they're fine. My lesser has never had a hide and he's one of my best feeders.

    Re: For Hatchling Hides, Holes In Top Or Side?

    I only give them hides if they show me they are going to be a picky eater, otherwise no hides in tubs.
    Most of my snakes have never seen a hide, but then they've been in tubs all their lives.
    In tanks are a whole diff story.
    I prefer to use side entry hides.
