Whats wrong with them, I use to half log hides and he uses them all the time, there are other hides too but he choses the half logs, I use a Terapod vivarium designed for reptiles which is a 'tank' and it works fine for me, he uses all the space and even climbs up the vines at night and analog hydrometers made by zoo-med are fine, I use one and well according when my snake sheds well, its completely right
