I am very tired of seeing more than one "lets see your hides" posts within the same week.... the search button is your friend!

BTW since I took the time to say that I may as well repeat what I have told others recently. I like the reptilebasics.com hides becase they are dark lghiweight, cost effective and very secure with their offset door.

Next time you make a new thread, please use the search button to make sure someone has already done it.

the cheapest i have ever used was plastic solo cups cut down for babies

well ive got everyone beat on price. lol. in my juvy. tub i use small boxes that are free, fold up cut hole and vwala. the cheepest hide for your money. i also use the bigger boxes in the summer when the humidity is naturally higher otherwise the big ones soak up the moisture to bad. when feeding and cleaning day comes the old box gets unfolded and thrown away or burnt and new box made.

Sorry you are tired of seeing these threads but there is no one forcing you to read them. There are plenty of people who would be willing to help whether its the 1st or 100th time a thread has been posted.

I know. I chose to help. I also just said to use the search button. If the search button is used, then you will most likely not put up another post, which will make everyone else's threads higher on the list and they will get their questions answered faster.

Just my opinion...

I work at a gardening center, so I just bring home those cheap (free for me!) black plastic pots. I wash them out thoroughly, cut a hole in the side, and sometimes glue a piece of plastic over the top since the pots can have holes in the bottom for drainage.

Gardening centers often give away the smallest 4 inch pots for free and sell larger ones very cheaply. We sell gallon pots for 10 cents apiece.

So there you have it, cheap plastic containers are the way to go for cost effective hides.

Only problem I have with plastic hides is that they are moved around my balls tubs to easily. Not a biggies, but a gripe nonetheless

I use the pet bowls from Ikea...

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00134231 for youngin's and
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90140379 for bigger. I don't think a full grown python can fit in the big one, but they've surprised me with how adept they are at squeezing in reeeeeal tight in things. If they can't in ~3 years I'll prolly look into reptile basics hides.

I just really like these since it's dark, tight, and doubles as a water bowl too. Just make sure they know there's water there - everyone else figured it out, but one of them got pretty dehydrated before I realized they wanted a shorter bowl :rolleyes:.

Thats the best! I throw one hide in with those kind of snakes and let them play hermit crab all they want. :D

I use the plastic dishes that my chinese food comes in. Every time I need new hides, order some chinese food! It is worth it.
