Re: Hide size VS snake size
I use exo-terra stone hides. Small for monty, he needs an upgrade but still fits. Medium for Clyde, he has room to grow in it yet. Large for Bonnie fits her perfect. I like the exo-terra above the rbis, they tend to flip my rbis but not the stone hides.

Excellent write up! Really helpful to see visuals of size versus snake.
I recently bought a new hide for the cold side and this one was a little different than the old one where the front of the hide was a lot lower than the back. It has turned out to be the favorite place for him to hide. I would definitely say that height is as important as width in getting a good hide for a burrow dwelling species like a ball.
If you want to know a highly recommend one for an adult, this one is what i bought a little while ago

Check my post history I wrote one about it a month ago or so. Drs Fosters and Smith have great deals on reptile supplies and always have some sale or the other.

Clydes hide. I'm not going to bug Monty or Bonnie until after feeding (and 48 hours after that lol).

Re: Hide size VS snake size
All of my dudes show a very strong preference for RBI hides over exo-terra. Sad for me because the exo-terra looks nicer, but I gave in long ago. I'll see if I can't get a decent picture of how my 1250g boy fits in his medium soonish, but he's in shed right now although in a surprisingly good mood anyway just skittish (He gets hissy sometimes when his eyes are completely blue).

I use both but my guys like flipping the rbis. Don't know if it's them just playing or if they dislike them. I also use straw huts originally designed for rodents as moisture hides stuff it with paper towels and spray down every couple days.
