can a snake not trust a hide?
well just some new parent doubts and questions. just want to keep gaining knowledge on my beautiful baby. well i received my beautiful bee last wednesday an everything's been going good, other than some personal doubts.. the first 2 days she loved her hot hide. but i saw her being under the cold hide too so she was exploring and testing everything out. them 2 hides are identical than i have a 3rd log hide in the middle close to the UTH which she's never gone into yet. well majority of last week she was under the hot hide. come feeding day on sunday, yes i tried only after 4/5 days, well she ate! perfectly i may add. so i see she's not really stressed that much. well before i fed her she was under the warm hide and i exposed her. picked it up and took it out. than fed her and put it back in. i realize i should remove a different hide that she's not in to make more room for feeding next time. after the feed she was in the cool hide for 2 days which is about 84° well today she was in the 3rd log hide! which i'm happy for cuz she hasn't been there yet but haven't seen her in the hot hide since saturday. could the actions i've done make her not feel comfortable under that hide anymore? or literally just not wanting to be there at this time? just want to know if you can make a snake feel not so safe under that one hide ove other hides. thanks for any input! love the many helpful pros here and i'm excited to be joining! also i'm thinking about starting handling this week so she can get used to me, since she already ate for me thinking i can start letting her smell me out for 5/10mins a day. thanks guys!
