Plants suctioned to the side can be a hide. It's how you use your furniture. For example you don't always need an official hide bought from the store. you could stack logs, cork flats...etc together to make a hiding spot. In the same way I use plants to stick to the wall so that my boa can hide inside it, as if it were hiding in a bush. I've tried it, I still do it and it works. What doesn't work for someone can work for another when used a certain way.

You can't know that. You do not know that the snake can't bask without feeling insecure. It's a pretty damn secure setup with an open area and a secure "hide" area at the basking site.

You keep saying that the snake isn't warm enough. That isn't the issue. This is how I know: 1. Basking spot is 90F 2. Snake basks at basking spot reaching temperatures at 90F. 3. It's gets warm enough.
I know all about cage furniture. I don't use anything from a pet store. I don't walk into them. If I need a hide I make one and it's very rare I have a snake who requires it.

Anyway, because YOU feel the plant is secure doesn't mean the snake does. The difference here is that you continue to view everything from your point of view and what you want to believe or see. Not the snake's.

Put it this way. Would you with a full belly, which makes you vulnerable to predators and on the island birds are predators, climb a tree and hide in some leaves? Where for the most part there's open spaces and leaves can be pushed aside to get at. The option is some sort of burrow or under a rock where the sides are solid ground or rock and probably only one entrance that has some nice teeth protecting it. Oh, and the snake can bask on top of the burrow before retreating into it to digest in security.

I'd definitely pick the second one and so would your snake.

The irony. Now you are talking from your point of view.

If a snake feels insecure, it will hide. It wouldn't just stay out basking. It's a 12x12 enclosure for christ's sake, with black paper covering the three sides. It's a secure set up.

The fact is, all bushes and leaves are different. Some more open and closed than others. The one I have provided for her is enough to cover her whole body.
