Water bowls and Hides?

[Archer]

So would the first hide I suggested be suitable if I made it smaller with moss or should I just buy two smalls of this?

Honestly it's up to you. I've never had a problem with any of my bps not liking their hides and I have never started with small hides. . I would buy the medium hide, see if he is fine with it and if hes not then you can put something in it to make it tighter. My opinion but I've never had to put anything in a hide for my bps.

if you get the bigger on and fill it with moss where your snake is snug in it should be fine.

I think I'll get this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...A3P5ROKL5A1OLE and fill it with moss. Thanks for the help guys!

Forgot you mentioned water bowls.
I don't know your set up but in my wooden vivs I use 2 water bowl. Larger one on the hot side and a smaller one the cold side keeps my humidity spot on. In my tubs just one bowl on the cold side.
I never move my water bowl from hot to cold side and back and forth because I think my snakes know where their water is so I don't like moving it.

Just as an fyi when buying a hide like that make sure you check it over for Sharp edges. Exo terra cave hides are a pain like that, well the larger ones are anyway.

Good Luck

I agree I had to smoothen the edges on my exo-terra cave a little.

I agree with all the information above between my last post and this post. I had to do the same thing with my exo Terra snake hide when I used one. Make sure you purchase 2, one for each size and being that there bigger they help clutter the tank a little, just make sure the diameter will fit inside the tank before you order. Actually measure the inside top and inside at the bottom where the hides would sit to make sure it will fit all the way down to the bottom. You want to measure the inside bc the dimensions they give for aquariums are the outside dimensions so you need to be positive that they will fit. I'm sure they will but better safe then sorry.

A good idea for a water bowl would be like I have it's made with rocks which makes the edges rough and gives your snake a rough suface to rub against during its shed.IMO

I just purchased two of the hide I was talking about (as well as about 7 other items e.g. 2 thermometers , feeding tongs etc.), the hide is by Namiba Terra (Not Exo Terra) and is made of terracotta so hopefully no sharp edges. Thanks again for the advice!
