Hide too small?
I just got my new female adult yesterday, and had the tank set up before she arrived. She is about 1590g, and the breeder recommended a 20g tank since she was previously living in a rack/tub. So I had these giant rock caves all ready for her, but she was bigger than I envisioned, and had to squeeze herself into them.
According to the sticky on hides, I should be using (something like) either an XL Zilla cubbyhole or small litter pan, since she's right at the edge weight-wise. Problem is, there's no WAY I could fit two of those - at least not the litter pans - into her 20g tank! Since they are supposed to have two identical hides, what do you suggest? Here are a few pictures, so you can see if the current hides are too small... I know they like being in tight spots, but this seems to be pushing it.


She managed to stuff herself in there, but I swear it lifts up every time she breathes!
