IMO the mediums are good for pythons around 500 grams, if the snake is larger than that I would go with the large hide.

does that go for all snakes or just bps?

I would say an adult colubrid would be more comfortable in a large hide.

okay thanks alot........ have you personally used these hides? if so what are they made of? and are they easy to clean?

Yes I have RBI racks and hides, they are made out of 1/16 thick ABS material, being non-porous they are easy to clean.

I use them because they are easy to clean. I think they are made of ABS plastic. My 850g BP can sqeeze into a medium but he will be upgraded in a couple of weeks. For a juvie, I would say go with a medium. The smalls are tiny, about hatchling size. If the medium seems too big, you can fill in some of the space with some balled up paper, or, if you are using wood type substrate, you can scrunch it down in the substrate to make the ceiling lower...

okay thanks alot...i really think im going to get me some of these maybe ill pick up a rack aswell...... lol so again thanks alot for the info.:D

I have 6 mediums and 1 large and just ordered another one last nite their great, get a rack too might as well go all in CB-70 is great

I use their small hides for snakes up to around 300 grams, then I switch them over to the medium hides until about 600 grams. After that I don't offer hides in my rack.
