    You should do what I do. Go to the nearest dollar store and pick up a nice vase or somthing. Dollar stores rule. Ive also found silk vines at the one by me.... talk about goodlooking cheap deco

    i wouldnt think newspaper would hurt. i used that to cover the hide when our snakes had mites, and we kept them on newspaper. just make sure there are no light holes, or tape inside the cage. you would hate to have tape get stuck to your snake. another alternative if yuo are using newspaper as a substrate is to get aquarium plants and hot glue them all around the sides, get some of the shorter grass like ones to cover the top. i use a lot of aquarium plants in our cages hot glued to the floor, it comes out looking real good when substrate is placed in. you can turn almost anything into a hide. dollar stores rock. we have a million out here in s.d.

    Alternatively, cover them with colored contact paper. Easy and cheap!

    Someone on this forum suggested a long time ago, that they used those um like peatmoss? plant planters. Like the hanging basket kind not a planter. I even went out and got a couple at Lowe's. They hold humidity really well.

    Or another alternative, go to a garden facility or a place that sells plants and just get a few clay planter bottoms(shallow/low to ground..bp's love them) and just take a hammer and knock out a hole for an entrance. They're cheap(got mine for no more than a dollar each) and effective. :)

    I think you're talking about Marla, and the plant liners?

    Those own for humidity hides.

    One of the best ideas for a humid idea ever.
