the 2 hide boxes i have now are the small ones from reptilebasics.com.
they both measure 5.5" long x 4" deep x 2" tall.
the mediums measure 10" long x 7" deep x 2" tall.
my dilemma -
the smalls are getting to be a tad bit too small but those mediums are definitely too big.
i need something that's approximately
7" long x 6" deep x 2-3" tall...
i know everyone here uses different things so i was just wondering if ya'll can throw out ideas of things that'll be somewhat around or close to the measurements i'm looking for.
i kinda wish reptile basics hide boxes didnt jump in size like that. i actually traced the outline of one of the small ones i have on a piece of paper, cut it out then measured and cut out the 10 x 7 on another piece of paper and compared the 2 cutouts side by side. theres just too much of a jump from 5.5 - 10" and 4 - 7 ". i can fit 2 smalls inside the medium!
i'm guessing my girl is gonna need at least 6-8 more months of growing before she'll need that medium hide box.
i know bp's like tight fits and all that but the problem my girl is having now is that the hide boxes are starting to fall/roll off of her when she tries to get in them. sometimes they just end up sitting ontop of her but when they roll off they lose the ability to provide her the "hiding" spots that she needs. despite the humor behind this little miss chub not being able to fit into her little houses, i'm growing more concerned that she's not getting the security she needs with the hide boxes rolling off and ending up flipped over and she's in that spot going : .
