Snickers is in need of new sized hides due to growth. recommendations?
I know BP's like their hides "snug" but Snickers is getting to be too large for her current hides.
Her hides look exactly like this(other than the color):

She can still fit her entire coiled body inside them but just barely so I want to get her new hides soon.
I prefer to buy stuff like "hides" online because in general it's not only less expensive to buy that way but a wider variety of products is available than going to a pet store.
I want to get her plastic hides like this:

but I worry they are so light weight that she will just easily tip them all the time when crawling over and around them.
Advice?

I highly recommend these hides sold by reptile basics, they are cheap, durable, and super easy to keep clean.
This picture shows the mini, small and medium sized hide boxes along with a 200 gram female Pastel BP. At the time of the picture she was using the small size.

Her in the hide

Her is the site where you evan get them:

Here is my current set up with medium hides. I have only once had a BP tip one over, 99% of the time this isn't an issue.

The biggest advantage of these hides over the plastic ones in the picture on your post is the reptile basics ones have the entrance off-center. this allows the BP to hide better in the hide and feel more secure.

RBI hides are simply the best hides I've ever used. Once you try them, you won't want to use anything else.

I have the same hides Aaron shows in the pics above. My bp's have never knocked them over and very rarely move them.

I think it has all been said. Reptile Basics hides are the best. My snakes disappeared when I got them. I like the offset hole on these better than the ones with the hole in the end, provides more security. Never had one knocked over either. Got 6 balls using them.

That's one of the best features of an RBI hide. They're light weight enough that the snake can move it to where the snake wants it. Mine does that all the time.
