I 100% agree with Deb.
And despite Deb being my go-to for all things hognose, I do offer a hide, and Cosmo does use it. He's my only snake that I use Aspen for, so he's got the option to burrow, and he does burrow all the time. However, he will often be in his hide, partially burried in his substrate.
I originally put it in just as decor, but since he uses it all the time I leave it in.
That being said, I have a little over a year of expwrience with one hognose. Deb has years of experience, keeps and breeds hognose. So, in Deb I trust. I just think Cosmo may be an exception to the rule.
