is this ok to use

for a hide box on DIY projects i was wondering can i just use a old plastic clear shoe box or will it not be good becase it is clear and the snake won't feel safe thanks for your time ~dan~

ummm. If you could find a dark colored one it would be better bcause it would make the snake feel more inclosed. You can also use a cardboard box......ceral box. Something of that nature.

he may not feel as comfy in it since it is see through. generally something you can't see through would be better.

how do i post a pic to let you see what it loooks like

this is how they look like they are clear and on the other end i have a passage way so my snake can get in

If they can see big looming shapes moving around outside through the side of the hide they are not going to feel very secure - go for something more opaque.

i was using a clear zip-lock container like that, but i covered it with substrate, and left the hole for the entrance exposed. he would feel secure and like he was underground. put some plants or something on it around it.. use the enviroment inside the cage to make a hill there and have the hide be under the hill...

i was thinking to put like white paper ot newspaper over it is that fine
