    Superior hides

    Decided against RBI hides, i wanted something with a lower profile, and a heavier plastic material. Also, would be nice not to deal with shipping.

    I found exactly what i wanted at Walmart.

    $3.94 for the small hides, $4.83 for the medium hides. Custom hide entrance created with a hot soldering iron.

    Not bad. I have had good luck with RBI hides except for a few of them warping. I just ordered 2 of the XL ones for Dottie as it's beyond clearly evident that they are too small for her now lol. I think even she has accepted it as she is laying outside stretched out more often now haha.

    The RBI are nice, just a bit too tall and a bit too flimsy for my ideal.

    Superior hides

    New addition Kali peeking out from her new hide. (a young adult pastel, she just ate her first meal since arriving, but will get an introduction to the forum soon.)


    A snake next to the hides for size reference.

    Meh, i guess. I'm used to them so they work for me. I personally dont want really heavy hides as the snakes like to burrow under them or shove them around and i dont want someone getting squished or pinched from weight. As for flimsy, they seem pretty sturdy to me. I mean i got the jumbo ones for Caesar, Vic and Rosey and at least weigh in about a year ago, Rosey was 12.7 lbs and she sits on top of them and they dont even flex. Same with Caesar and I know he is heavier than Rosey. And i know they are pretty tough as freakin Caesar pushed one off the top of the T25 stack a couple nights ago when i left his door open. The spud climbed up top and i hear this big like hollow 'boing' sound and i look over the see Caesar looking down at the floor and on the floor was one of the jumbo hides haha.
