I'm curious if many of you use a hidebox, have some partial shade/hide, or use nothing in your BP enclosure.

After a few weeks, I took the simple cardboard-box hide I made out of the enclosure. My snake had spent the better part of the week inside of it, and many more hours besides. As I have a nice glass-wall enclosure, only one snake, and want to show him off a little it was considerably annoying that he didn't want to show his face at all!

I have a young snake, so I thought he had better get used to the movement of one or two people outside his cage. He's already acclimated fine to the new environment and fed recently before I removed the box, and after.

For the most part, he seems to do fine, so apart from a difficult shed and a recent refusal to eat, he's doing well, moving around and laying stretched out along a log. Need I worry about putting a hide in at this point?
