    I give hides to all my snakes, some don't use them but i like to provide them one if they do want to use it. I plan to give all my snakes hides even when they are adults, and only remove the hide for breeding.

    My kids all have hides. Once they get too big, they only get one though.

    Yep, all my racks have 1 hide for adults, 2 hides for juveniles, 1 hide in a small tub for hatchlings.

    Re: Hide box in your snake racks?

    Depensd on the individual snake and how enclosed/opaque the rack/tub is.

    My breeders are in a 41qt rack, only a couple of problem feeders have hides. The tubs are very deep though and near black at the back, I have no issues.

    Sub adults and hatchlings all have hides.
