New bp won't go into hide?

[JGB24]

What kind of hide is it? Is it new, or have you had it a while?

I bought a couple of new hides one time. The snakes wouldn't go in them. No idea why. I ran them through the dishwasher, suddenly all was well. I can only guess that it had some new hide smell they weren't too happy about.

May not be the problem, but I figured I'd toss that out there.

The hide is old. I've had it for a long time. But maybe when I cleaned it it left a smell on it. I'll clean it again more thoroughly and make sure it's been rinsed clean.
