    Those hides expose too much of a ball python to keep them feeling secure. The ideal hide for one is something that's closed off all around with only one way in and one way out. And one that is tight fitting for their body. I.e. A reptile basics hide, exoterra cave hide, etc. or if you want to stick w the log, you could seal off one end of it to help w security.

    But it's up to you as the owner to decide what you want. If everything is working and you like the way it looks, then you don't have to change anything.

    For what it's worth, I've found that my BP likes to spend the day in one of the completely close-in, tight, dark hides; but in the evenings, he moves into one of his open-ended tubes where he can check out what's going on around him more easily. As long as your snake has choices, and some of those are enclosed and secure, there's no problem with also providing more open ones as well.
