Oh that's actually a very good idea! I didn't even think of that lol, thank you!

You could use silicone seal made for aquarium use...it's non-toxic when fully dry; while it's drying it off-gasses vinegar-like fumes, mostly annoying but dry
completely before you put it back in. That will actually help to weigh the hide down too.
That hole would take an awful lot of sealant to fill, so what I'd do is first wad something else into the hole, to fill it most of the way. (Silicone that deep would
also take forever to dry.) Just paper wadded in there should be fine...then just seal it in there with silicone so it sits flat.

Thanks for the tip! That will be my next project when that stubborn girl finally leaves the hide!

Re: My Ball Python is a little brat
An option for a harmless filler is the Great Stuff brand gap/crack filler.
It gets used for backgrounds in cages and stuff, and silicone adheres to it well if you scrape off the outer shiny layer once it dries. I'd add the silicone to keep it extra water-proof, but some people have carved it and just painted with acrylic paints and had it work out fine from what I can tell.

Alternatively apoxie sculpt works very well for filling stuff in/covering the hole or even sculpting over. It self cures in 24 hours and once it does it's pretty much as hard as steel. Waterproof, non-toxic and non porous. One of my favorite mediums to work with for DIY projects.
