This post is in response to a question asked by Qetu. I didn't want to reply in the original post because it didn't fit with the OP's topic.

So correct me if I'm wrong veterans......

The log hide apparently doesn't provide an adequate hiding spot. My guess is that it is too open or something. I argued the point a while back with a few veteran owners who kept suggesting that I remove the log hide and get something different and I insisted that it was just fine. They say it stresses the snake to not have an appropriate hide even if you don't notice them being stressed.

So I switched to a exo-terra hide like I have on the cool side. It took her a couple of days to creep inside but I have noticed a difference in her behavior since she started using it regularly. She's much more at ease and spends less time outside of the hides now which is more normal than constantly cruising around the tank. The temperature inside the new hide is warmer and more consistent and retains humidity much better. Totally worth the $20 to have a happy snake.

And my apologies to those members that I incorrectly argued my point with previously.
