Mmk. I'll try clutter first, then downsize if that does not work. Should I include the larger hides as well to help clutter? Maybe put the smaller hides inside the larger ones? They're single piece molded plastic reptile hides from Reptile Basics so easy to move/clean. I guess I won't entirely know until I get the critter. Going to prepare the area and get the container set up to get reads on temp and humidity tonight/tomorrow and then, hopefully, next week go shopping for my first python
I've got this place for reference if anything goes bad. So glad a place like this exists for new owners to freak out about nothing and everything.
