For my snakes, they have 3-4 hides in their enclosure. The one they like is near their water dish. They always choose the one closest to the dish, but they seem to prefer the log being near their dish rather than the toilet paper rolls. They spend a lot of time in the hide, Mama mostly. She's a big lazy garter :P Snakey likes to cuddle up with her and if she has to go, she has to go. Whether its on Snakey or herself, she doesn't care. It's funny when she comes out of the hide with poop on her head... It's something you don't normally see.
