Use the site's SEARCH feature to look for "hides"...or just scan the husbandry forum for thread titles about hides. There's tons of stuff you can use.

What kind of "heating equipment" is on the way?

For the naturalistic look, I like the "rock den" hides available from ESU. Reptilesupply.com has all five sizes available so you can see them.

You have the ExoTerra medium Reptile Cave - unfortunately the ExoTerra small Reptile Cave has an even bigger "door" than the medium size, so I wouldn't recommend it.

We started our ball python on the ESU rock den in medium, which honestly was a bit big for her initially but she grew into it quickly. We moved her up to the large and now she's in the extra large size. =)

I'm not saying you must order from Reptilesupply or from an online source, but it's a good place to see different "natural" hides if you wanna go that route. Having said that, reptilesupply.com are cool people and I would order from them. =)

Those exo terra hides are good hides i use them for my ball , but change it for the smallest one get two or even three small exo terra hides ditch the half log and when you have your thermostat and digital thermometer (acurite's are great ) monitor your temps/humidity until it is correct and stable then get your ball :)

Oh yeah, throw the half log away. They are completely useless. =P

I just found these...if i was a baby ball id hide in here. Just cut a hole in the side and make sure its not sharp?https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...1/IMG_0606.jpg

Those work well. :)

Alot of people use these. Clay pot bottoms
