Hides for a 4' bp....

Can anyone give me a ballpark on the size of hides I'd need for a 4' bp? He's on the way, and I'm finishing up his tub at the moment, but I don't know what size hides to make.

I use the bottom of those flower pots..the plastic ones...just cut out a little slot for him to crawl into.

If it's a BIG boy...maybe even a small kitty litter box with a section cut out for him to get into. Think cheap...those work the best :D

I'm using dish washing tubs i got at the local super market for about $5.00 just cut a whole in them and they work fine.

way to small. my 3 footers are out growing them. the big girls i posted couldn't fit in the opening of those hides.

what are you talking about I have a 4 foot 1100g girl that fits with extra room in the large 8 1/4"W x 10 1/4"L x 4"H

im not trying to start anything but the girls in my pics are 3000 grams. are you sure about the length of your snake? the few i have in the 1000 gram range are alot closer to 3 feet then 4.

shes like 3 ft 10 in with extra room

cool. i do like those hides boxes but they do need to make them bigger heres a pic of me holding my biggest and you can see why i say she wont fit in.pic is about a year old and she was 2500 grams.

Those large cat little pan work fantastic I use them for all my biggest girls

I ended up "borrowing" a few spare plastic trash cans from work and cutting off the lower 5.5" of them and using those for the hides. It seemed iffy as to whether he was going to fit (I was making them before the snake got here), but they seem to be a nearly perfect fit.

I used the bottom 3" of a third can for his water dish. Unfortunately, I think it needs to be a bit bigger, as he just barely fits in that. Oh well, like Meatloaf said, two out of three ain't bad :)
