"The minimum in terms of hides is two identical ones, one at the hot side, one at the cool. ITs very important that the snake does not choose security over temperature. If you want additional hides, thats okay too, just make sure they are the same as the main two. And as for the ziplock as a humid hide, thats good if you are having problem with humidity, but it should not substitute as a main hide."

- so i should go ahead and take out the wood log, shes still in it, should i in the morning when i change the water go ahead and just lift it up and out of the cage xposing her and making her chose the flower pot as a hide. if thats ok, ill do that. i also have about 4 more of these ziploc containers " http://www.epinions.com/content_176476622468 "

can i make hides out of these. im using one right now as my humidty retreat and also i filled one up with beaked moss and wet the moss and placed it next to the large water bowl and under the lamp on the hot side.

i moved one flower pot to the corner of the cool side, and one on the hot side directrly across from the cool hide one. i have my humidity retreat in the middel by the far side of the tank.

the damp towel is working great right now, has it up to 50 percent and it hasnt changed for 6 hours. i think the lamp above the waterbowl and moss is helping too.
