Concern with BPs hiding place
I have the ball python's enclosure in question outfitted with two identical hides, paper towels for the moment, and a 93*F hot side and 87*F ambient air. I am using vision cages, instead of utilizing either of the hides he instead lodges himself on the lip above the window. The only reason that this bothers me is that I do not visually see him making using of the UTH for digestion.
Should I be concerned or will he get the heat when he needs to regulate himself?

Re: Concern with BPs hiding place
Sounds like he feels more secure there than in the hides you've provided. I'd suggest changing the hides out to something more secure.

Re: Concern with BPs hiding place
sounds like his hides are too big. Do they hug him tightly on all sides, when he is curled in his ball?

Re: Concern with BPs hiding place
Yeah, we made them for him specifically out of clay. I'll try a few more hides over the next few days and see if that presents a change.

A picture would help

humm. is he in a high traffic area? they are expert escape artists. Mine will try, she doesn't stay up there. once she figures the lid isn't coming off, she moves.

I'm at work right now, but when I get home I'll throw one up. I should be home in roughly one - two hours.

ok. also, if he's a new baby, it could take him awhile to use the hides. I took some small cereal bowls and cut holes in them for mine. she didn't used them for a few days, but now she uses them all the time.

Re: Concern with BPs hiding place
Hes been with us for a year now and with the guy we got him from for a year before that. I bet it is a hide issue and because my wife and I made them, didn't want to see it! Funny how pride does that! She even painted pretty little leaves on it  . Looking at the medium hide boxes that Rich has up on reptilebasics.

Sounds a bit warm in there to me. I'd bring the ambient temp down some.
