Best place to buy plastic hides online??

[Pandora]

Title pretty much speaks for itself
I've given up on trying to find these things anywhere in Canada.
I'm of course talking about the black boxes used for hides.
I know several places sell them online but most of them are American companies and I need 4. 2 for my 3 foot boy and 2 for my growing 2 and a half foot girl - I'm also stumped on what "sizes" to get.
I'm basically just trying to find a place that won't rob me on shipping charges or over pricing.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly =]

Hmmm... I've been searching and having a hard time finding somewhere that ships to Canada.

I did manage to find this site: http://npicages.com/abs_plastic_hide_boxes.html It doesn't say if they ship to Canada, you could email them about it.

I think I remember that the big companies (Zilla, ZooMed, etc.) stopped making their black plastic hide boxes. Which is why they are harder to find now. Have you tried looking at reptile shows? I often get good deals on hides at shows.

Good luck...

For smaller snakes I just use those plastic pot drain things that you stick potted plants on, not sure of their official name. They come in several sizes and are dirt cheap. Just cut a hole in them and you have a cheap usable hide.

For the larger bps, I use litter boxes. You can get the smaller ones made for kittens and they work great!

These all work just as well as the commercial ones, and are a lot cheaper and easy to come by.

Agreed. I use plastic flower pots (cut down) of varying sizes for smaller snakes and dish pans or small litter boxes for larger snakes. Recently I found some tortilla warming containers, in maroon plastic, at the Dollar Tree that are the Perfect size for small adult BPs! Cheap and nice looking.

You could also try www.reptilebasics.com I don't know if they ship to canada but they have nice black hides in small medium and large. I use the small for baby bp's and the medium for juvenile bp's and the large for adults. Not sure if this will help but you can try!

Yeah, I found those same tortilla dishes, too! I bought all of them at my Doller Tree, but since I cleaned them out, they haven't had any for the past six months. But those are also great if you can find them.

Find someone in the states to ship them to you. I did it for one of the members here who lives in Britain. He purchased hides that were shipped to me, then I sent them to him, he paid the shipping of course.

What would be a good size hide for a ~4ft male?

Somebody (although I don't remember who it was, it was someone in Canada) once posted that plastic water bowls for pets that have cut outs on the sides to pick them up are sold at Ikea for only a dollar or so and make great water bowl/hide combos. I looked at them and bought some small ones and some large ones. I have been using the small ones for babies for a good while now and fairly recently have put 2 of the large ones in use. You really can't go wrong for that price. They are black.
