The black tray is a takeout tray from a Chinese restaurant. I cut out the smaller tray with the knife and cut out a small entrance. I then used the hot glue gun and glued Aquarium gravel all over the small plastic hide. This gave the hide a bit more weight and strength to it. The hide should be washable and is pretty inexpensive. I happened to have a large amount of aquarium gravel available from my fish tank.
I figured the aquarium gravel would give it weight and substance while also providing some rough spots for when my ball python sheds. Also I can use the other larger side of the tray when my ball python gets a little bigger.
Does anyone see any potential problems with this hide? Has anyone else done anything similar? I'm just got my first ball python a few days ago and am relatively new and want to make sure I'm not making any big mistakes.
