[QUOTE="NatashaG, post: 85334, member: 5331"] Okay, so my T, Zoltan, moulted a little while ago and has gotten considerably bigger. The hide that I had made for him is now just too small, and I've noticed him trying his best fit in it, but it's safe to say he is just too big. I was looking online for reviews on a hide that would be suitable for moulting and something permanent as he grows, when I came across a few articles online saying that B.Smithi's often don't require a hide, as they are pretty comfortable being out in the open. One article even suggested that often having a hide can help to feed a skittish disposition, something that I really don't want my little man to have, as I want him to be as comfortable with us as possible. Now I'm not sure I would be okay with completely taking away a little house for him, and I might try making a shallow little hide from things I have laying around the house, but I just wondered if anyone on here has any advice/views/experience with this issue.
