Opinions on my rubs/hides

[DooLittle]

It sounds like a cool idea, but I guarantee you the snake is going to move that hide around. All mine move their hides and half of them don't even use them anymore. They either hide under the paper towel or at the back of the tub.

Lol, paper towels = cheap hide. I have a couple that do that. :p

Paper towels: The hide that doubles as substrates! Now more absorbant and blanket-like!

Snakes

Yes good point, i think ive changed my mind again anyway and am going to leave them as they are Thanks for the input guys

I would leave them too. In my hides that are to large I place moss to make them feel smaller and more secure to the snakes. Crinkled newspaper could have the same effect.

I Use a regular soft flame lighter to round out sharp edges in plastic. Just kiss it with the flame and smooth it out with your finger.

I like.

Yes thanks guys ill leave em! my boa has hides a little large with leaves in, but he spends 99% of his time either on his perch, or hiding under strips of left over coco husk background i have running along 3 walls of his viv. perhaps the snakes feel even more secure when they can feel the hide draped over them like with the paper towels. Kinda like me - i cant sleep without a blanket even if im warm enough lol

just a quick update - i just saw my biggest girl (2kg)half on top of one hide stretched out the whole length of the rub resting her head on the other so it woulda all been a waste of time any how!

I think its so funny you guys call tubs "rubs" over there. Just makes me giggle every time I see it.

lol its the brand name, they are the same in the US arent they? Really Useful Box. Although mines not its an ikea tub but its just taken over as the term used over here for any plastic tub!! I didnt realise you didnt call em that tbh lol.

Isnt Hoover the same - like all vacuum cleaners get called hoovers cos Hoover was the name of the company that made the first one? I dunno maybe im getting confused lol
