Know this, they like to squeeze into hides, but the best hide is deep sandy soil. so in the enclosure you want 2ft plus. my savannah dug a burrow that seemed incredibly narrow that stretched close to five feet and almost all the way down. provided different temps and humidity. a log or rock wont do that to same degree. but those are also useful.

You can carefully remove them and 1/2 bury them in the cage soil/substrate. Works great and free. Stack the curls like a sort of ’Retes board’ thing and it looks natural but very functional to let them choose the heat-level they want to hide in.
