    Hides for big snakes
    So my new boy only has one hide. I really under estimated how big he would be. No commercial hide will do. So I used a shoe box and cut a hole it so he's using that on the hot side. Unfortunately I do not have anymore shoeboxes so he will have just the one hide till I can make shift something else.

    Any ideas? I thought about maybe a litter box but I can't find one big enough.

    Whatr do you guys use for larger snakes?

    well just today i bought the littlest litter box from walmart probably 9.5 in wide and 12 long, cut an opening in the front, melted the edges of it to smooth it out and it works great and the bp loves it

    I've seen cat litter pans used a lot.
    you can always find a rubbermaid tub big enough for even the largest snake and create a door in the side

    I would worry about not being able to sanitize that, but that's just me.

    I use small litter pans from WM, about $200 each. I cut holes in the front and back, cut the ridges off the sides and sand everything down. Seems to be working well thus far!

    Lols :rolleye2: Yeah, they are diamond encrusted, covered in gold and endorsed by Billy Mayes. But if you order in the next 10 minutes we'll TRIPLE your order!!!
