Judy again thanks!

Hides are a funny thing, clear and translucent I personally would not recommend Ball pythons don't have the best vision but they are not blind either. I have used a wide range of things with mine. I like plant saucers upside down with a door cut in the side or top... but I have used flower pots, plastic bowls purchased rock like hides and just plastic ones. slab style (a rock with a bit of wood glued on it to the floor making a wedge shaped thing. Almost anything will do just give them time to settle offer 2 or more add cover with plants and stuff and they will settle in just fine.

Make sure it can't fall over and hurt/trap the snake and doesn't have any really sharp bits and let it be for a bit.
