mostly a hatchling stimmi will hide under some newspaper in it's cage or you could make some hides
the hides from urs will not be small and cosy enough

Stimmies are awesome, you could use a very small terracotta pot, one for making candles in.
If it's one of this seasons hatchlings, they are about the size of a biro.
You have to put the snakes welfare before your idea of aesthetics though.

you can make your own hides i think i've even seen a few threads on how to do it, it is time consuming but probably well worth it. While they are quite small though it is better to keep them in their click clack with some newspaper, some crumpled up so they can hide around it and a water bowl

small terracotta bowl, mouse bowl from the petshop, oh and also a small rock in there is good too for them to rub around when they are shedding =)
I got my little girl at that size too, it's so fun to watch them grow up

Stimsons are soo sweet IMO. My little guy was so tiny when I first got him 20cms (n2v) and even now coming up to his 1st birthday he is still only 45cms. He is my only snake (i hav 5) that has never ever striked and hasnt even looked like he was going too. His first hide was a toilet roll cut in half | |
