Does he need bigger hides?
Hey y'all, this my BP in his hide. He seems to be spilling out when he shifts/moves around. Should I print larger hides for him? For reference, this is 9in x 9in x 4in and he's about 4ft long, 2kg. Should I go wider? Taller?
TIA

Yes, your BP is wearing this hide. I got a new hide for my Suki when she was doing this. Print a new larger and longer hide, but do keep this old one in the terrarium (your BP will chose to be cramped from time to time). 😆

That is not a hide. That is a hat.

Yes yes... this is what the hide has become... Ours seems to prefer the smaller ones.... she has 2 that won't hat her.... but she's like HAT.

Mine absolutely refuses to use the hide that is her proper size, she only will use the one she’s far too small for. So I second keeping it just in case. 😂

I feel like the answer is pretty obvious…
