    Hide too small?

    Hey guys, I recently bought a new hide that was tighter fitting and she gets wrapped up in there really tight. She is in shed right now and hasn't left in like 7 days (except for when I take her out to check on her). Im worried that she is stuck in there and can't get out with my help. Is this a possibility?

    Thanks guys,
    Alex

    doubt it, I just learned that BPs can squeeze themselves into pretty tight spaces. And remember, most BPs get extra shy on shedding time

    Thanks, I know they get super shy, I was just super worried because I haven't seen her leave in days. I was worried she got trapped in there. I know its probably stupid that I'm worried about that, I just wanted to be safe. Thanks for your help.

    I never see my ball when he's in shed, and the reason why you're not seeing your girl is because she's in shed! Your ball is not stuck in there, and as previously said they can get themselves into tight spaces.

    If she got in, she can get out too!

    Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.

    Whenever I haven't seen a particular snake in days, I know they're in shed. Don't worry, I doubt she's stuck in there! As the others have said, you'd be surprised how tightly they can squeeze... and even when they can't fit, they'll go inside anyway. LOL
