thats what i thought... i like tons of hides, and plants and so on. it makes it look better. more real. i like to give the snakes a ton of places to hide and go and explore. i have noticed that in the larger cage with lots of things to do, and places to hide they are poking around the top a lot less. they tend to explore and cruise around all the hides. there are a couple hides with multiple hidden entrances, and they go in one end and pop out another and wrap around.. it is really cool. my snake seems to like it a lot. i saw him last night just basking on the tiki god.
