Rick,

I think you already had the answer to your question before you asked it. LOL. I think you will do well with the hogs you wil be getting this year.



With hogs, you will not need hide spots. Offering them the substrate will be what they need. They will make their own hidding places and will pick the places they will want to be. With the deep substrate, it offers and even wider range of temperature gradients as well as providing the proper humidity gradient.



Most of our hogs are set up in racks. We have too many projects to house them all in huge, natural cages. However, we do have a couple of pairs that are housed in natural set ups together year round. The males will not constantly trail the females. In fact, if the female is not receptive she will let the male know and the male do get the hint and will stop his advances. They can cohbitate just fine provided their husbandry is correct. I used to cohabitate kings years ago and never had a single issue with it. Never had one try to eat the other. This might just be due to my tendancy to feed my snakes well though... LOL...
