Do you have no hides because your snake is in a dark drawer and feels safe? If you throw a hide in their box do they use it? Thanks
assuming he has the same theories as I do, ill answer that
you manage it with an IR gun of some sort and a thermostat. yes it does matter and thats why I use what I use.
Humidity is hard to measure accurately, moisture doesn't spread evenly in air by any means, thats why you can have same humidity gauges next to each other and give different readings. I find it better to gauge it by how the cage looks and feels. Moisture on the glass and wet looking substrate indicates high humidity, Dry substrate means low humidity, it not hard to figure out the balance.
I only use hides on snakes that need them, observe their behavior and eating habits, half my snakes don't need hides, so why use them, their fine in the racks.
