I wasn't implying that you didn't have hides, just perhaps she needs a much smaller hide than some would think to use so that she can squeeze herself into the smaller space. I'm sure you do whatever is best for your snake. I have had "problem" children like your girl that required being housed in spaces too small for them because they stressed too much from the larger space. I've also had "easy keepers" that could have gone into an adult cage as a neonate and not cared a whit about it!
