i have a 8 X 3 X (2 on one half and 4 on the other with tree/platform) cage for my 15' burm. i take her 2 X 2 hide box which takes up a third of the floor space out during feeding. it seems that it is in the way during the coiling/eating process. i put it back a couple days later. at this size/age do i need to even use a hide box anymore. she only uses it for a few days before shedding. without it she gets to stretch out more which to me looks more comfortable. if she needs it for security i want her to have it but i want her to be comfortable too
