    How do you guys determine size of hide for your BP? I think my current hide is to big so I want to get one that's right but not sure what size to get.

    What I like to do with a hide that is to big is add a clump of moss inside. This will make it feel smaller to the snake. Plus during a shed you can make it damp to help make the hide more humid. During non shed periods I make the moss damp and then allow it to dry out again before I make it damp again.

    I mainly use the black hides from RBI.

    Another option is to go look around in stores for cheap plastic bowls or containers. Cut a little entrance, melt any sharp edges, and flip them over to make a hide.
