    Question What do you use as hides for your ball pythons?

    There's tons and tons of different things out there that *could* be used for ball pythons... For example, this baby ball python out on top of a cork hollow and a grapewood branch.



    It'd be neat to see what other keepers find practical, aesthetically pleasing, or economical. Naturally in the stores we like the cages to look pretty, but what do you at home actually use?

    I use the hide boxes produced by reptile basics. they aren't much to look at, but they do their job and don't cost a fortune

    I use the same. I do wish they were cheaper, but I'm not crafty so it's convenient to not have to make them myself. And while I'd like something more asthetically pleasing, I do like being able to clean these more easily than wood....
