Towel question....

Hi Everyone~!

So my corn Peach is 2 years old. She's fabulous! I feed her in a plastic bin with a towel. She knows that it's food time in there. Well, I was busy and she had finished her mouse, so I put the whole bin in her cage. I went to get it out and she's still in it. I've checked every day since I fed her (3 days) and she's still in the bin. She usually goes to her humid hide (round hide on left) where the heat is after eating. I've attached a picture. So, should I include a towel for her sometimes in her tank to let her hid in? What do you all think?

Thanks,
Wendy

why don't you just take her out of the feed bin and put her back in the cage?

Hi Wendy -

I think she just likes the additional hide. However, I wouldn't use a towel as a hide. The minute she poops on it you have a mess, blech. I like to use hides I can throw away when they get soiled. So, maybe another hide.

Enjoy!

Update on Peach and her towel.

Thank you guys for the responses!

For Karl, I didn't take her out because I try not to bug her too much when she's first eaten. I have before and it's been okay but the bin fit and she could get out when she wanted to. Every once in a while she won't eat a mouse so I'll put her and the bin with the mouse in her cage. She's eaten the mouse once when I've done that and went to her regular hide. So I would remove the bin. A couple other times when she didn't eat the mouse, she would get out and leave the mouse in the bin. So I would get the bin out and chuck the mouse. So this time was different. She's never just stayed in the bin. So I was curious to see what she would do. She's my only snake and I spoil her rotten.

For Tonya, yeah, she's pooped before in my bin after eating but before I got her back in her tank. She has a cool hide which she uses but I think it's getting a little small for her. So maybe I'll upsize her cool hide. I do think she enjoys the towel in the bin for feeding.

Thanks everyone!
Stay safe,
Wendy
