I hope that's something you can understand since snake behaviour isn't quite your cup of tea yet.
EDIT: As it stands I'm awaiting an e-mail from the breeders in the States who first produced these animals when they were imported.

Human security is different from snake security would you not agree?
The thing is, you make these boas out to be always hiding. They aren't ball pythons that are in burrows most of the time. As cited earlier these snakes do go up the trees in the wild to avoid predators. Where do you think they hide in the trees? In some rock in the tree? No probably in between brush and patches of leaves that are on the branches. At same time, soaking up the sun's heat. I have mimicked a similar environment in the previous enclosure.
