    Best hides for a ball python?
    I have about a 1 year old ball python and I want to get a nicer hide for him, something that actually looks good in the cage too, not just an upside down planter pot which I am currently using now. What is the best type of hide for him? also is there something that makes the hide humid inside because I have a hard time keeping up my humidity levels in his cage, thanks

    If you want something nice looking, Exo-Terra makes these reptile caves that are pretty snug. I just don't like them because they are too bulky and heavy for my setup. They are also kind of expensive, so yeah.

    Here's a link to those hides:

    the small size works for a hatchling, large for a juvi, and XL for an adult.

    This is what we use, as you can see in Cleo's cage here. It's the medium size, so we plan to purchase one of ESU's larger sizes when Cleo outgrows it.

    If we had lots and lots of snakes to care for, I would go with something less expensive and the easiest possible to clean, but the resin molded stuff from ESU is very easy to clean and disinfect while being more aesthically pleasing for me. Snakes like'em, I like'em. =)

    Have a look at the "Captain Overkill's Guide" my fiance Rick wrote for setting up a glass viv that maintains proper husbandry.

    So how do your snakes like those hides? I have been looking at some like that on another site.

    Granola bar box was the best thing for my snake. He loves it and practically lives in it :P

    They all seem to like 'em Bill.

    Especially since they come in sizes.

    It allows for a nice tight fit.
