Hey Ive been telling you all along to use the hide if you want to, i didnt tell you to use plastic bowls. I suggested using two half logs if your going to use them.

And my point of thermal burn was if the snakes were so "smart" why wouldnt they move off of a spot that was hot enough to burn them?

Im glad you found use for your hide, and by all means keep using it, the thing I miss about them the most is they are a great shedding surface...
