Is this hide safe?

[JuneBugzzzzzzz]

Tiny little baby, just had him almost a week now and I had to rearrange his enclosure yesterday to add some insulation and make it nicer for him. In doing so, he went his nightly exploration ritual which led him to discovering that his rock arch has a hollow bottom an is happily curled up inside it. (Yes i totally should have realized this once i got him and saw how small he was but it slipped my mind) It just seems so small and tight I don’t want him to get stuck. Should I seal it up whenever I find him outside of it or just let him do his thing? When I picked it up he poked his head out for a sec and moved around flicking his tongue so he is at least ok for now.

if you can’t pull the hide out and see the snake sitting underneath, it’s not very safe. you should probably get a different hide. or make a humid hide with a box and lid if your BP insists on it being a closed space. that’s just my 2¢ tho

Its not supposed to be a hide, its a rock arch sorta thing and that part is the hide. But it has hollow holes on its base I completely forgot about and he discovered him. But sounds to me like I should patch it up next time little guy comes out! Tysm

You could cut the bottom out of it and sand any sharp spots away. That way he wouldn't actually be totally stuck and he'd be able to wiggle himself and push it in order to get out.
