right now i just have 1 plastic plant and it's suction cupped to one of the sides of the hide. she never did stay in this large hide before and it's the important one on the warm side lol. she would just coil up under this plastic plant on the cool side. now she's in this hide 24/7. criuses at night when she's hungry of course. she obviously feels more secure in this hide but i feel like it's too long for her. the length of the hide is about 2 coils of her. the plastic plant just condensed the width of the hide in half.
