She just doesn't go in her humid hide + a hide question.

That's if it's duct tape. I would never use duct tape in an enclosure. I only use the Scotch tape but very little as possible. I will be replacing the hides though with dog dishes or flower pots. Which ever makes the snake happy I'll be happy.

And all tape is bad dude, best bet is low-tack painters tape.

Well the Scotch tape dooesn't do a great job with sticking much, but I do understand of what can happen. That's why I'm asking for other hides to use.

You can use the clear containers, just spray paint them black. Its as easy as that. Want a link to my DIY hides?

Of course I do

I make my own hides, they start out as clear plastic but they end up black...spray paint that is non toxic after drying is your best bet. I have a thread in DIY for hides, they work great and theyre light so if your snake is one of the decorating types it can move the hide around accordingly.

You described both of mine to a tee!

I found the thread and I gotta say that is a very good idea. I wil try to do something similar with used up containers :].

Shoot, sorry I was afk for a while but good that ya found it. Theyre flexible too so its a bonus for big BPs, they get the tight hide they want and it's one size fits all.

The hides I like is Exo-Terra reptile caves! They come in different sizes! I got the medium size for $6! Here is the website so you can see them and the different sizes - http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/reptile_cave.php ! They are readily available at most pet/reptile stores!

I got some of these awhile back and had to do alot of sanding on the inside to smooth out all the sharp edges and points in the resin left over from the manufacturing process. I am much happier with the RBI hides...

If the snake needs her humid hide, she'll use it. As long as your humidity is above 55-60% shedding should go by without a hitch.

How big is your snake? For hides, I use Glad Ovenware. It's the thick black tupperware container.
