Yes small hides = great. From what i hear is if u cant see the snake thats good lol.

Also both hides should be the same if your gonna have two so they dont choose security of the hide over temp comforts.

Our bp is in a super small hide. And LOVES it

Also could goto walmart and get a acu rite hygro/therm to measure humidity/temps

Also a tstat for the uth would be best. But at least a dimmer
