    Bigger hides?

    Hiya everyone.

    So, my BP has outgrown his current hides, extra large caves. What do people generally use for hides at this point and how do you make them safe if making yourself without spending too much?

    Also dealing with a very fussy eater if any tips. Will have two or three meals and then not eat for a 3/4 meals before returning to two or three meals again. Currently on rat weaners every 10/14 days.. (temps etc are fine)

    Thanks for reading

    As for feeding if the numbers are right and the snake is otherwise healthy you may be stuck in that cycle for a while.

    Same here, for reference my male is about 3 feet long and fits perfectly in the large. Sometimes he moves them getting in and out but the next size up I felt like were too big.

    Looks like you've only gotten half of your questions answered, & since this thread is titled "Bigger hides?" it's a good bet that the right people to help aren't seeing this issue. May I suggest that you start a new separate thread for the feeding issues, as we need more information also.
