this one has always been a difficult snake, i have several hides, both cool, hot and water, in addition to the moist hide. he doesn't regularly use any of them, and doesn't appear to thermoregulate, the places he chooses seem to be based on keeping out of sight more than comfort. as i sent out the last post El Diablo, stuck his nose out of the moist hide, but that is as far as it went. so after 24 hours in the hide i pulled him out. not a happy snake. i think the 10 gallon may just be too big for him, and he is feeling vulnerable so i'm switching him to a smaller 5 gallon, and putting black paper on the sides and back to give him a more closed in feeling. might add a few more hides too. hope this helps

thanks

Mike
