    Where to get these hide boxes?

    I've been searching everywhere for these hide boxes and can't seem to find them anywhere. They have a top entrance hole and what looks like a water bowl built into them. Hopefully I posted pic right. I had to screen shot a photo from Brain Gundy YouTube video since I couldn't find even a pic of these online other then this video and a few other people's videos.

    I would ask in the comments on the video. I've never seen those before. If the bottom is solid, they're a bad idea, but I suppose you could easily remedy that with a dremel tool or something. Personally, I don't think I'd like them just for the simple fact that about 80% of the time I want to get to my snake, I have to lift a hide off of her. I'd end up spilling that water bowl every time. lol.

    There don't have a solid bottom. I think they would be good for tub use, maybe not so much for regular enclosure. It's not something I need right now but I figure years down the road they would be good for breeding operation. Good point about spilling water lol but I would probably be using paper towels so clean up would be easy, or don't fill to brim.

    They look very neat, but I am not crazy about the idea of the hole versus the semicircle opening of more traditional hides. I'd be worried about snakes getting stuck and/or injured when they started to outgrow the hide or hiding after a big meal. Whereas with the traditional semicircle opening the hide can lift off the floor if the snake is getting a little too big to fit.

    u can get those at Bean Farm. they sell them at shows and on their website. check them out here - http://beanfarm.com/index.php?cPath=1159

    i would use these for colubrids or other thinner snakes. i'll pick some up when my baby corn and milks get bigger.

    Thank you! I was going to look there but then I just decided to do a search on Google of plastic snake hides and I kept getting the same result. You could always plug the top hole and cut a larger semi circle in the side so you don't have to worry about any getting stuck.

    I would avoid them as mentioned, enclosed circle doors are bad for snakes. If your snakes are anything like mine, they love to double back on themselves in doorways of hides so you want a semi circle. Check out Reptile Basic hides. Those are what I use and they come in different sizes, have a flat top so can double as perch and are easy to clean. The only downside I found so far is they do warp with heat but my snakes seem to care less about that.

    The double back could be a problem with the ball pythons (or thicker snakes), but I think my hognose would love it.
