I like this thread. Very good topic.

So everyone does something different and I appreciate reading everyones input.heres mine: me and my husband have a cb70 rack with 41q vision tubs with aspen bedding and water bowls(and of course belly heat on the back side of the rack). Thats it. I personally think when your reptiles are in a rack its dark enough to not have a hide included, but just how everyone husbands there snakes differently, snakes are different themselves and they might prefer something different they have different ways of showing there comfort they might refuse food until you figure out how there most comfortable. We are learning that the hard way right now with a snake we have, she has a hide in her tub and we are still waiting for her to adjust. But we will not give up until she is sit fit. So i say start with something simple and then go from there. But with our hatchlings we do have them on papertowels and a hide and a very small ceramic dish of there water. and there are no problems there. KNOCK ON WOOD! Hope all goes well keep us posted!
