Re: 400 gram balls = what size hide?
I would say like Lawrence, Medium Creature Cubby Hole.
This is the size and the type of hide I use for BP that size.
Re: 400 gram balls = what size hide?
Aleesha, i would also say a medium hide would work good. i posted(to give you an idea of size) a pic in my lemon thread i started when i got mine from evan, he was 497grams and was hanging out out it.
Re: 400 gram balls = what size hide?
I use the small (6-8qt.?) sterilite shoe boxes with a 2" hole drilled into the lid and some moist sphagnum moss in the bottom for my BPs that size.
Re: 400 gram balls = what size hide?

Re: 400 gram balls = what size hide?

Re: 400 gram balls = what size hide?
Aleesha I'd hit the dollar store for some nice dark plastic decent sized cereal bowls. I get them 2 or 3 for a dollar and both Robin and I use them for snakes about that size. You can just put an entrance either in the roof or in the side. I have nice dark blue ones, they clean up like a dream and are very cost effective for growing young snakes.
Re: 400 gram balls = what size hide?
oooooooh... see i knew i'd find an inexpensive easy solution!!!! i'm thinking "thrift store"!!!! i can get plastic cereal bowls there cheaper than the dollar stores (up here everything is at LEAST a dollar per item)
Re: 400 gram balls = what size hide?

He's about 400 grams...doesn't seem to mind that the hide is too small...I think they feel safe when they can really get under something, even if they aren't...
