    So my 3 months old ball python Hebi, decided to completely ignore her hide and always finds ways to go in between the hide itself and the glass of the terrarium. At first the hide was on the hot side, right above the UTH (kept at around 91F), but she still went in between it and the glass. That was where she decided to hold up when she was shedding.
    I thought maybe the hide was too big for her, and she did not feel secure in it, so I got her a smaller one, one of those small exo terra reptile caves. I move the previous hide to the cold side of the tank (around 78F), took out the hide that was in the cold side before and placed the exo terra one on the hot side. A few days have passed and she still goes straight for that spot in between the glass and the hide, even after I moved it.
    There is no other issues with her, she eats every week, is active at night, and even is a real sweetheart the days I take her out to handle her. She just really likes that spot! I've heard the sentence "a hiding ball python is a happy ball python", I am just worried that now that I moved it to the cold side, it might affect her health.

    Here's a picture of what I mean :
    Hilarious. I love how great ball pythons are at hiding. They will cram themselves into the tightest crevices possible! Mine do weird stuff like that sometimes too. Millions of years of evolution to prevent being a meal, have programmed them to get into the tightest, hardest to find places.... NOT RECOMMENDED, but if you really want a challenging game of hide and seek, play with a ball python. They will find the darnedest places to disappear. My friends once climbed into his subwoofer for weeks, and they couldn't get him out
