I do - just in case your snake prefers one. My corn will only sometimes burrow in the bedabeast, but is in his hide more often. I think it's important to give them choices (choices in types/number of hides, choices in temps, etc). Unless you are talking about a burrowing species (sand boa) I think you should always offer a choice of at least one hide on each end of the gradient. Besides, I think they may feel more secure in a hide sometimes. Just my opinion.
