    I use the half sized cat little pans from wallmart. They are only a couple bucks a piece and they are the perfect size.

    Mona (2200g) has an XL Exo-terra cave, which is WAY too small for her... but she loves squeezing in there, and got really irritated when I tried to upgrade her. Nerissa (1900g) has a cardboard box right now, since I ruined her small litter pan hide. As for the sub-adults, they have either XL or large Exo-terra caves like Mona's.

    I don't use them for most of my ball pythons; although, all of my ball pythons are in rack systems. The ones that do require them get the cheap black plastic hides.

    Re: Hide boxes for sub adult-adult balls

    My old roomate used to love suppliments.

    He brought home this massive black container of protein powder one time. When he was done, I just cut it in half, washed it out thoroughly, dulled the cut edged and voi-la! Two perfectly identical, large hides!

    I don't use hides with racks except for hatchlings until they get established. If they want to hide they will go under the paper.

    Re: Hide boxes for sub adult-adult balls

    I've been wondering if the hide i'm using for my ball is a good one. If I posted pics could you guys give me you opinion? It's like a square, wooden, tissue box I got from Michaels Craft Store

    I find hides arent really necessary in racks. (provided the snakes are in appropriately sized tubs)
