    Re: Hides too small? (pics)

    I use the bottom 6" of a couple office-sized wastebaskets with a door cut in them. They fit an adult bp (~ 4') like a glove.

    My BP is capable of fully curling up in his small black plastic hides, however he also 'slips out' of them now and then. It does not seem to bother him.

    I'd say your hides are fine for now!
    This above all: to thine own self be true,
    And it must follow, as the night the day,
    Thou canst not then be false to any man.

    I go to the dollar store and get plastic bowls. Tortilla warmers work great for humid hides. For 99cents I got alot of extras

    oh man i love dollar stores, as many fake plants as i can cover a tank in for a buck each(i use them on the outside to make the tank less open and a little darker without having to shove them right in the tank) If you can find a pair of plastic bowls, cut a hole in each and you have identical, cheap, effective hides

    Oh yeah, having two identical hides is important, too. That way, the snake will choose based on his heat requirement, not comfort.
