    No, don't pull her hide away. You'd be surprised at how enticing the smell of fresh damp moss is to a snake- they'll find it & go in on their own, as long as it's the right size & not over-heated; be sure to leave room for both the snake AND plenty of moist moss when you pick out a container to convert into a "humid hide". Preferably the plastic container should not be clear, since snakes love some "atmosphere" (darkness).

    As mentioned previously, it's best to give a BP at least 2 identical hides (one warm & one cool)- but the humid hide (hide #3) doesn't have to match, as the moisture is an enticement on it's own, & you want to place the humid hide somewhere in the middle as far as temperature. (slightly heated is okay- but it should be cooler than the warm hide)
