Hide entry placement
Hi everyone,
We recently got our first snake (an Albino Ball Python), and i'm looking to upgrade his hides from grape nuts boxes. The boxes are working well, but i'm thinking clay pots would be better. We live in Colorado, and it's so dry here that i'm thinking during his shedding time it might be cool if i could have 2 clay pots in his tank, and then 2 extras. I can soak the 2 extras in water, and switch them in ever 12-24 hours (not sure how fast they'll dry out as i haven't tried it, yet).
My question, is does it matter where the entry hole in their hides are? The clay pots have the drain hole in the bottom i was thinking of just expanding with my dremel tool. It's a shorter, wider pot, probably 6 inches in diamter, and 4 inches or so tall. Is he going to feel exposed with the opening up top? We have a heat lamp for him, so on that side of the tank he would be directly exposed to the heat lamp through the hole up top. I was thinking i could also close the hole up top with some aquarium silicone, and cut a hole on the side for him. This is a little extra work that i don't mind doing, i'm just wondering if it's necessary.
