    I have more colored paint than I do black paint. I'm going to try a darker color first.

    Pink Hides Blasphemy!!!!!!

    They look Little small compare to size of presented Animal...

    I know that general Rule is They should feet nice and Comfy but too tide ( I mean rolled like pretzel and no more space at all) is not good as well...
    And entrance cold be a problem too...
    My ball love launch at they prey from they hides and i really dont see it goes good from those ones... Is really hard to say about size of this hide from Pictures.

    I've used medium RBI hides for my up to 1000g animals those are 10x7x2.25 inches...
    Above 1000g I' using large now... and those are 13.25x9x3.5 inches

    I don't know about my new one, but Lily generally prefers it if I just leave the rat in for her to eat when she wants. I use similar style hides for my little ones and they are able to shoot out of them no problem. My male spotnose actually ambushed me one day.

    I've been thinking about buying some RBI hides and I guess now might be a good time to do it. Some of my 2010s are out growing their hides, but they also love to hide under the paper so it doesn't matter as much to them.

    Re: What's wrong with my hides?

    I had the same problem when I tried to give mine bigger hides. She was using her old one as a hat more or less, so I decided to make some bigger ones and she refused to use them for several weeks. She would poke her head inside of them but wouldn't lay inside for any extended period of time. Eventually she relented and now she seems to love them as much as her old ones.

    They are such creatures of habit that she probably just needs more time to adjust to it. And painting it a darker color couldn't hurt either

    When I use tupperware, I just leave it clear. They don't seen to notice the difference and I get to see them in there.

    Hides for big snakes are a bit overrated. The majority of my snakes except the most finicky eaters don't have hides. A few rest under the paper but most of them curl up in the tub and do just great. Hides are much more important for small snakes IMO.
