Man oh man. Sorry lol. I can kind of agree on the hide thing. Shiva lover her corner rock on the hot side. But on the cool side she could care less. We usually found on top of the cool hide anyways. We replaced it with a decent sized fake stump, loooves it. Its open on the sides around the roots. Sometimes shes under it, on it, half in n out, wrapped, blah blah...

Snakes deffinatly have needs and personalities that need to be sought out as an individual. This is up to the keeper to do. But, alot of people have a hard time understanding their behavior. So it makes it difficult. We spend massive amounts of time with all of our animals.
Our snake, pacman frog, 2 red eye leaf frogs, 10 firebelly toads of mixes species, the 5green anoles and 2 long tail grass lizards that share a 55g, 2 pits, the cat, and of course my newly teenage daughter(FML). So yes knowledge does grow with time. Were here to share it and see what comes out when it all boils off.
