Houdini's new hat

This is what I saw when I checked on Houdini tonight. I guess he doesn't like the door. :P

If anyone has any pointers on how I can weight that down it would be appreciated it. He seems to like moving it around his tub even though there is an identical one on the other side. :rolleyes:

haha thats so funny! Silly spider

One of mine rearranged his hides every night, then hissed at me any time I tried to put them back :rolleyes: So I just went with the upside down flowerpot hides. No more rearranging :) I have no idea how you could weigh plastic hides down, but I'm interested in seeing if anyone has any ideas. Otherwise, I'm going to have to buy more flowerpots for my other BP. :P

I recently made my Ball some new hides out of Tupperware containers spray painted black and sealed with a matte finish. I weighed them down by hot gluing some smooth stones on the top, because he was also shoving them around everywhere.

Why weigh it down at all? My snakes move their hides where they want them. I use blacked out contact paper tubs with a single hide. Seems to work just fine.

Mine are all great interior decorators. Why take the fun out of it for them ?

I don't weight mine down either. Sometimes mine will be completely in their hides and sometimes almost half of their body will be hanging out. I let them shuffle their hides around wherever they are comfortable.

I don't think mine moves his in any particular order when he could move them. He would shove them randomly over to the cold side and try to stay on the warm side but was scared because there was no cover so he started roaming his cage and wouldn't settle down. Now that I've weighed them down they stay put and he is comfortable on the warm side of the cage again.

But maybe mine's just a little "slow".

Very cute!

You could hot glue a rock to the top.

Probably moving it to his preferred optimum temperature.:)

Or maybe just moving it to where he is most comfortable.
