I have used alot of cardboard hides in the past, but they just don't clean up well. I am tired of throwing them away and getting another. I have been looking for something I can throw in the old dishwasher I plumbed in the basement. ;)

Especially since they come in sizes.
It allows for a nice tight fit.
Do the large ones fit nicely in the 41 qt tubs?

You're concerned about height?
Re: Best hides for a ball python?
Just overall size, does it fit with room left over? Is it tight to the top? Etc
Re: Best hides for a ball python?
Height is not a problem.
Two in the 41 quart is tight - but there is still room to move around and my girls just move 'em as they need to.

Before spending the money on those ESU type hides, I would pick up some cat litter pans from Walmart for $2.50 each....they make great hides for adults. They fit great in 41 qt tubs too.
For my smaller bps, I use random sized plastic containers(i.e. butter tubs, cool whip tubs, etc.). ha ha....i have everyone saving their butter tubs for me ;)
Like Bill said.....cardboard just does not clean well...and having to replace a ball python's hide everytime it gets soiled places alot of unneeded stress on the animal..

With all the cat litter pans I have gotten lately for mice racks, I'm surprised I didnt think of that. Thanks!!
Cleaning the cage finding soiled cardboard and having to replace it, not only stresses the snake, it stresses me too!! LOL!!
Re: Best hides for a ball python?
I got some plastic tubs(butter size) at walmart after christmas for about .05$ each. They have xmas themes on the outside but so far the snakes don't seem to care about that. Making a entrance took about a minute eacha nd I have a nice stack of them, cheap plastice bowls work well too, If you don't have people to save tubs for you, which I am about to contact my friends and go, hey.... save me your tubs!!
I would like ot find something for my larger snakes, my big guy is in a LARGE tank with a cardboard box.
My rats and mice get to squabble over who gets which boxes. I use those because they don't seem to care if I toss em.
Mice like the butter tub size things too, as do rat pups just weaned.
I like those from Adam's post with the hole in the top, but I am afraid that my guys in the racks wouldn't be able to squeeze in.

My 3500+ gram girls housed in CB-70 tubs have no problems getting in and out of those hides. ;)
