    Don't know ... all of my snakes use hides ... maybe the person taking the picture took out the hide so you can see the snake?

    There's certainly no "one right way" to keep these animals. Do what works for you and your snakes!

    Re: hides / rack setup

    i think alot of people feel that the snakes don't need them? i offer hides to all of mine and let the snakes decide for themselves...
