I spent years buying expensive pretty hides and finally gave up spending $10-$20 on a hide and having my snakes ignore it or sit on top of it lol. After lots of experiments they're favorite hide is cereal boxes, cake boxes for the little ones. Everyone in the house saves all the cardboard boxes for them now lol. They're tight, dark, and nice and snug, just how they like it. And they're disposable, no more washing hides, come in lots of colors, and technically your recycling so good for the environment to.
