| Cage furniture should be kept to a minimum but a hiding place is essential. Terrestrial snakes prefer to crawl into small holes or crevices when at rest, and many will not feed if a hiding area is not provided.

They help to augment the relative humidity if frequently misted and aid in a snake's ability to camoflage itself. | | Cage furniture should be kept to a minimum but a hiding place is essential.
