Has it got somewhere to hide?

[Lulu Bennett]

pmsl Oh Dear!!!

[Stefan-A]

Has it got somewhere to hide?

Yeah, one in the cool end and one in the warm end, but it spends most of its time buried under the substrate.

You could have given me an easier one.

[adamanteus]

It may be that your hide is pregnant, which could be a problem. If your hide gives birth, you could end up with little holes all over your tank, through which your snakes might escape. I would always warn against the breeding of hides.

once again Oh Dear! lol

[adamanteus]

In fact, if you have too many hides hiding in one place you could cause a situation where the enclosure itself or even the room in which it is kept becomes invisible. A kind of "black-hole effect".

[Stefan-A]

Are hides cannibalistic? Is it ok to keep juveniles together with adults?

[adamanteus]

You're just asking for trouble with that, Stefan. Would it truely be cannibalism, or merely a small hide concealing itself within a larger hide? It would have a certain irony, if you couldn't find your hide!!

guys when are the folks in white jackets coming to collect you?
