Do you use a hide in a rack system?

[rabernet]

All of my snakes are offered hides - both those in the rack and those in the tubs. It is dark in there without the hides, but my snakes use them, so they get them - it's not just the dark - it's feeling something touching them as well.

I do not offer hides in my smaller rack but my sub adult and adult I do. If I am using the ARS gray tubs I will not. The gray tub eliminates the amount of light and movement that the animal sees. Cuts down on stress. If I am using the clear or opaque tubs then yea I offer a hide.

Even with darker tubs, in my experience, balls like the feeling of being touched on all sides ... a small tight space for them to cram into adds to their security ... also, having a hide over the heat tape creates a third thermal gradient in the enclosure for them to take advantage of.

Adam your experience is GOLDEN. I'll get me some of those cheap plastic hides and hook them up. never hurts to try something new. Thanks

I actually have a BP that does not use her hide... She was kept without one for a good while, but I decided to get her one just in case she wanted it. She used it that day but never again.

i use one hide in each tub. sometimes they use it, sometimes they dont. my shy female almost always uses it but my two males usually hang out of theirs.

Anything to get a squeeze out of a hottie.

I said that too, yes I did! (pretty proud of myself too that I've learned well from the Sensei!)
