1. What's up with my snake- I had a hide on the warm and cool side, and he'd usually stay on the warm side. But when he did, he wouldn't go in the hide. He'd just curl up right outside and stick his head toward the cool side (currently in a 10 gallon). I was assuming it was just that the hide wasn't dark enough or too big, so I switched to another hide. I'll see how he deals with this one. (sorry that wasn't much of a question, but it would be nice to see if guessing was right )
2. I just rearranged his enclosure a bit and misted it for humidity and when I was putting him back in, he stuck his nose on a rock that was partially wet and then did the same to his hide. I she just drinking the droplets or is this another high-tech sort of recognition that snakes do?
3. What kind of water sould I use (aged, dechlorrinated, just regular tap water, etc.)? He is currently using regular tap water without any trouble.
