Thank you very much the_rotten1 that's very helpful I felt really bad for getting him a hide that's too small and he hurts himself but then I felt really bad that he didn't want to use his new one but now I know they like small spaces I can relax I've put his hide back and he went straight in there thank you for your help it's been a very long time since I've kept snakes it's like starting from the beginning again
Thanks
Steve
