What size hides

My 2 yr old BP is almost 4 ft. and 1500 grams. What sizze hides should I be getting? I was thinking about geting the plastic flower bottoms. But what size?

Also the baby is 14 inches long what size hide for him? Should I stick with plastic or clay:?

My adult male is a very similar size, and his hides are the bottom 6" of a couple waste baskets I borrowed from work. The top of the hide (base of the waste basket) measures ~ 6.5"X9.5". He fits in them nice and snug.

I got them some creature cubbyholes and they are working out great.

And how exactly do you plan on giving them back? :rofl:

Home Depot or WalMart has planter saucers. They are they trays that sit underneath the pot to catch water. They come in ALL sorts of sizes. Try the 6" for the baby(2 of them) and try the 12-14" for the big guy. Just cut holes in the sides so the snake can fit and flip them upside down. They work great, are inexpensive, and easy to clean.

For BP over 1500 grams I use small cat litter pans, for babies it depends on how big they are!

Hammerhead gave you a link to one of my old post regarding hides check it out it might help you.

Thanks everyone I got those creature cubbyholes

Try exo-terra caves, the xl seems to do the trick for an adult+ they look sweet if its on display.
