RBI hides are the best I've ever used. In fact, I have two sets for each of my snakes. Makes tub cleaning that much easier when I can just remove and replace. Same goes for water bowls and tubs for that matter.

Cost too much

The least expensive BP I have cost me $225 to purchase. The value of the animal increases with every gram they gain.

4 x RBI hides = $21
2 x Ceramic water bowls = $12
1 x Extra IRIS MCB-L Tub = $13

Total = $46

For me, that's not too much...I consider it part of the cost of owning the snake, and I factor it into any new addition to my collection....just my method.
