Hide-Boxes

[beefsupreme]

For my 4 foot female, I was getting rid of mites and used a regular shoe box, so for your baby you wouldn't need much. Find something small and cute decorate it, etc. I usually wait until I get the extra money and then upgrade. So now she has a large cave on the warm side and the shoe box on the cool side. Good luck, keep us updated and post some pics!!!!!!

Unless you are geriatric, please type like everyone else. It is really odd to read a thread and some across someone who is typing in ridiculous font. We can all read normal forum font..please use it

Here is one I made from a black 1 gallon bucket that I bought at Dollar Tree. It cost me, you guessed it, one dollar. I just cut the bottom four inches of the bucket off and put a mouse hole shape in it. It may be just a little bit big for a hatchling but you could always crumble a little paper up and put it underneath to take up some of the space. It is also dishwasher safe if you put it in the top rack.

This is what I do. I used a soldering iron to cut the hole, but found It was still a bit sharp around the edges. I just used a lighter to melt the sharp spots.

If you plan on owning a lot of snakes, it is fairly cheaper.

My display animals get the expensive cave-like hides.

I use RBI hide boxes and I love them. I agree though if you are just buying 2 or 3 it might not be very cost effective.

Alright, so RBI hides I think are the way to go, everyone here seems to not have had problems with the hides. I will probably order 2 smalls, and 2 mediums. Will the BP ever get big enough to fill the large?

Also, as a general question, how do I know when to upgrade the bin size? I'm going to be using a 12qt starting off.

When it looks like the BP is wearing it as a hat then you know. Basically if he is in there and not all of him fits.

Alright, thank you very much! Will I need to order the large hideboxes for my BP in long run?

Well my BP is in a medium sized one and once he outgrows it I'm not going to even use one. So it's up to you and your setup might change.

Oh and he weighs 1233g.
