    Amazon is usually one of the first things I go to. Usually have better prices (even if by a couple pennies lol) and Super Saver Shipping. :)

    Thanks,

    I probably won't be much help here, but I use these for our balls:

    For our baby corns we use toilet paper rolls cut in half lengthwise. Free and disposable.

    Sorry, we aren't very creative. Everything is kept in racks, so we aren't too concerned with aesthetics, just simplicity and function.

    I gave up on pretty hides a long time ago, lol.

    I use empty kleenex boxes for small balls and then tortilla warmers for large balls.

    The kleenex box is a good idea! I'll have to steal it from ya. xD Do you just keep it to where the "entrance" is on the top?

    did you look in the diy section? there is a really cool idea there and it even has how to make the clay :) that one might be worthwhile for you to take a look at since you want something unique

    Obviously want to make sure that the stone's can't fall over on your snake. Just get a few different sizes of stones and try and make something with it. They are super cheap, usually less than a dollar a stone. They also tend to hold heat and humidity really well.

    I use lots of boxes from work myself! For the babies, it's usually small cigar boxes. For my bigger girls I use various boxes from work as well. They're great cuz I can get various sizes according to each snake and toss the old ones when they get dirty. :D Although....I discovered the baby balls don't like the cigar boxes that smell like the flavors. lol

    But this........

    I like using Exo-Terra hides, I'll get some pics tomorrow. To make some quick hides I cut an entrance in plastic bowls of any side.
