what to use for a hide

I make my own hides (modeled from the Reptile Basics).

Appropriate sized Rubbermaid Storage Containers, painted with Krylon Fusion or Rustoleum Plastic paint. Access hole cut, and there you have it.

I actually cut these down because I felt they were too tall for my colubrids. I simply used some heavy duty snips and cut right along that ridge and made a new access hole. Much more cramped for the snakes.

I have 2 more drying right now. I give mine a week to cure either outside on sunny days or in a tank with a heat lamp on - just to help the fumes dissipate.

i dont use any hide,she dont want to use them.

I work at a bar so i use the boxes that fountain soda comes in.
Theres a perfect hole and the smaller ones are a great size.
They are free, i can always get new ones and they dont take up much space.
I bet if you went to any fast food store or something they would save you a box.

What a great idea! I'll need to nab some of these from work.

I used my soldering iron to make a hole in one of the McDonalds' Halloween happy meal buckets my kids had for the 1598gr girl I just brought home. She was too big for anything I already had.

go to the local dollar store and buy cheep plastic bowls to use

I use some RBI's and some Neodesha's.

i have RBI's as well but i'm about to try switching to tupperware containers cuz my girl is too big for the ones she's got now.

Anything plastic that can be cut;)

I use empty soda boxes for my big BP. The other one, Gene, refuses to use anything but a rock hide that is way too small for him.
