    Hides?
    What are the best hides for bp's? Right now I have the all living things 3 in 1 castle crib. I like the exo terra snake caves, does anyone use these?

    Habba huts should work well, the small ones are working great for my BTS, pretty much anything works if it is
    a)non toxic
    b) provides a snug fit for the bp
    c) possibly retain more humidity
    d) easy to either replace or clean.

    Interesting you suggest habba huts, I've been told they aren't secure enough? Although, I think they would work just fine if you covered them up with substrate a bit. ,

    Note I said BTS. My bluey is a burrower, so I can just situate my hides in the aspen and cover them up more with aspen, making them as small as I want.

    Ah. Yes I also have whites tree frogs and have a similar setup to that. They like to go in there to shed.

    Any suggestions for ball pythons?

    I have some exo terra medium caves for my smaller snakes and some plastic hides that I got from LLL for the larger ones

    I'm using a small round plastic Christmas cookie tub with a hole cut out and moss inside on one side and a cute stump made for fish on the other for one of my babies. He gets to have some Christmas cheer til he outgrows it lol.

    I use these for my BP. He is about 2 years old now...I don't remember what his weight/length was 2 weeks ago when I last checked (those numbers are at home). I think it may be time to get the next size up, and will likely other them here (I purchased the one I am currently using at a reptile expo).

    I like them because they are simplistic, and very easy to clean.
