I was wondering if you use hides in the tubs on your rack? I use 41 qt tubs on my rack and have hides for all of my snakes. I rarely see them out of their hides except at night. I did some thinking after receiving Kevin McCurleys book in the mail. He does not have hides.

I know that snakes will find a comfortable temperature for them in the tub. Will a gravid female stay in a area that is too hot just because there is a hide there? I have VIP's book and it states if the temperature is too high during a certain period they will reabsorb.

So Hide or no Hide?
