what hide is better?

Any hide that provides a tight fit and makes them feel secure will work. Half logs don't provide that.

I use the drip trays for plants cut a hole in them and they seem to like them, for my adults I use washing up bowls and do the same thing.

And yeah those RBI hides are awesome, just about the best thing you can get for your snake.

I got a couple of the EXO's and I got a massive half log which is awesome for when he's going into shed and he loves crawling around on it. For hides though definitely go EXO or RBI. Furio won't hide in the half log, he just plays on it, when it's time to sleep he goes in the EXO's.

a half log against a wall with some kind of plant covering the front is a good hide.also stuff extra bedding in there for added security.

a good % of the fun is creating a nice looking tank that looks somewhat natural.

those black hides from rbi are boring and to throw in a regular rubbermade water bowl is just ugly.yea it works but come on

this is supposed to be fun,if your ball python eats,hides most of the day,sheds good,poops,pees you are doing a great job.

oh,the cave hides are great,i love them.
