el-cheapo hides, for growing snakes?

As it says,
what are you folks using?

i poked around my local walmart, and target the other day. but i really didnt know what to get. my snakes will be 100-200 grams. so what fits? where can i get it?

my closest pet store has those little plastic hide boxes on cheap, but its like a 30-45 min drive away!! and they suck, so i dont want to give them my money, just so they can use it to mistreat more reptiles :(

thanks

I found some great solid colored bowls in 2 packs at my local Dollar Tree.

the small round one is a flower pot bottom(50 cents)

the white one is a utensil/silverware holder(2 bucks)

drill 2 inch holes and you're set! all found at wally world.

Nice Vaughn! Of course the hole is just centered and all professional and crap...Trying to make me look bad again? :)

nah bro! not trying to make you look bad. "that's just how i roll" :D it also helps to already have all the tools(drill,holesaw,sandpaper).

Sandpaper!?! :)

I have been to the wal, the depot, and lowes looking for those flower pot bottoms and i can't find them, maybe i am just looking for a bigger one, i got a male about 4 feet and he won't fit under the one's i saw. so i guess the silverware drawer is the way to go!

Bah, I say! :)

Thanks kavmon, i never really thought of those as anything other than cat toilets

Here's the kitty litter hide I used for Sarah before she went to her new home:

Phantom, I also like to use plastic bowls as hides. These came from Dollar Tree in a set of 3 for $1, so $.33 each. Just soldered out an entrance. The purple box is also something I turned into a hide as well - it was their favorite until they outgrew it! LOL

I also use the flower pot saucers for my babies - I solder a similar entrance.

Awsome thanks for the ideas everybody!
