cleanex box?

can i use a cleanex box as a hide?

Too big...

Why not go to the dollar store and get some small cereal bowls(dark plastic) and cut an entrance hole. Easy to clean and the snake will like them.

like i got this one hide but he never goes inside it

I think it might have been wise to have this all figured out before you had the snake.. :rolleyes:

Just go get two SMALL bowls, or plastic flower pot SAUCERS(the bowl the planter pot sits in), cut small holes in the side and turn upside down.

For babies, get 4-6" diameter bowls/saucers.

Id stay away from anything cardboard...or absorbing as a hide.

We tried several different types of hides with our snake and found the one that he was most secure in was the terra cotta saucers. I painted mine so they didnt look too bad in my glass tank. He had a small cereal bowl but when he would go in it the bowl would lift off the ground and his bottom half would be exposed... I guess he outgrew that one. In his hide now he rearranges the substrate to make a nice burrow under the saucer.

mine is 2foot, what size should i get?

One big enough or small enough for your snake to fit in. Just guess. If shes a baby get a small one. If she's a big girl, get her a bigger one.

Mine is three and a half feet and she's a hefty girl but she squishes herself into an 8inch terra-cotta pot bottom very well! Snug fit, but she likes it.

You've only had your snake a day or two. It's probably still stressed out and exploring it's enclosure.

Didn't you just get your snake 2 days ago? They don't start using hides until about a week has passed. Once they start using their hides regularly, that is how you know they are comfortable.
