My Jungle Carpet will not use a hide. She is either on her perch or in her water bowl, always in the open. I expect that to change very soon when she gets her new AP enclosure. I will install a skyhide.
My Coastals don't use traditional hides either. But they will use the skyhides from time to time. I think it is more of a curiosity/boredom thing when exploring. They also use them to hunt out of.
Just can't go wrong with a Carpet for a display snake.
