    Naturalistic lay box ideas
    Since I house all my ball pythons in tubs I'd like to have all of my adult cresteds in display quality enclosures. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to make a nice looking lay box. I've thrown around a few ideas in my head but nothing solid as of yet. Has anyone found a way to create display quality lay boxes instead of just using rubbermaid storage containers, or someone that sells them? I may be able to use some painted great stuff around a rubbermaid storage container and make a lid out of styrofoam that would be held on top with magnets, but I'd be interested if anyone has a better idea.

    Let me know what you've got for me.

    I thought this would look good as a lay box

    that might be the way i go with my display tank, but if you planed the DIY type i'd have to think about that for a little while

    That's pretty cool, I wonder how big the entrance hole is. It looks like it may be too small for a chunky pregnant crestie to crawl through.

    There are different sizes of it, but mu Asian water minuter used a large one before he outgrew it. More than enough room for a Crestie. I use clear large flat style deli cups and put a wreath of fake ivy around it, looks pretty natural...
