Pics for Kicks

As the title suggested I'm uploading a few just for kicks pics I took today while handling Celia Mae . Feel free to comment and post pics of your own. No specific theme needed just share w/e you'd like .

To be clear she is in a Olive Garden to-go soup bowl that has since been repurposed as a hide. I keep the top on so when she's inside she can't lift the hide, giving the illusion of a heavy, more sturdy hide. Works great!

She's a pretty girl!
If I was you, just to make sure any sharp edges don't nick her, add a layer of tape around the opening of the olive garden bowl.
How long have you had her?

I agree with the check for sharp edges but don't ever put tape inside a snake cage.

OP could get med tape, it sticks to surfaces well, but won't stick to skin. We use it in the hospital a lot for patients with very thin skin. That's what I'd used with one of my hides way back when & it worked fine. Obviously you don't want to use duct tape or even scotch/masking tape, but non-adhesive med tape would cover any sharp edges & wouldn't stick to his girl if by chance she lifted it up.

Never put tape inside a snake enclosure. Massive potential for bad things to happen. Imo, she'd be better off with a rough edge than tape.

Thanks I'm smitten! I've had her for nearly 2 months now. I recently read a thread around here about DIY hides and I tried this out n it worked pretty well. After I cut the entrance holes in the bowls, I used a lighter to melt the edges so they would be smooth. I allowed it to cool then washed out the container and introduced to her viv. I've read a lot of horror stories about ppl's experience w/tape and while I'm sure it can be done safely I'd rather not risk it.

Lighters work too We use them to smooth up the edges of the air holes we drill into the tubs.
