??? About Hides

[omega45820]

hey all. I was curious about something. i was watching Videos on BP's and on some videos I seen where ppl was using Coconut shells for hides it looked really great. I was just curious if you could do that and it wouldn't be unhealthy for any BP

They sell coconut shells as hides for hermit crabs and stuff. It may look nice but a ball python will quickly outgrow it and if they were to poo in it (which they like to do) it would be a pain to clean. You can use them if you want but you will most likely be replacing them with different hides and cleaning them quite a bit.

There is nothing about the coconut shell itself that is "unhealthy".
