Brian Barczyk's Open Forum on Snake Rack Systems

[tttaylorrr]

I would like to know if there is evidence of a hide box in a tub benefiting the animal or is it just aesthetically pleasing to us. For example I have some tubs with hides in them and some tubs without. Some of the tubs I have with hides never get used while other ones are always in use. I'm 50/50 on the subject of hides in tubs for this reason. The tubs I have without hides in them is simply because after months of the animals not using them I take it upon myself to remove said hide. Was that the right choice? Should I put it back even tho the animal seems to thrive without it? Does it solely depend on that specific animal? Im excited to hear feedback on these types of questions.

every one of my snakes has 1 hide in their rack, and they all use them, all the time. except Coffee Bean, my Super Cinnamon girl. she is a weirdo tho and likes her water dish some times.

how does individual personalities factor into this?
