    It has a seller image in the reviews that show it more accurately and to scale.
    I also use eco-earth for substrate but I put moss in my hides during shedding and myself I keep my humidity at 65%-70% during shedding.

    no, this hide is much too large, 21cm in diameter, for a 85g snake. You want a hide that's tight. Also, don't consider opaque hides, kinda defeats part of the purpose.

    As always .. your mileage may vary. Nothing is exact.


    As for buying stuff in the UK. Use .Swell reptiles. they are by far the best. Their quick, cheap and have alot of stock. Also sell the hides your after.

    Do you only use moss in your hides during shedding?

    Re: Water bowls and Hides?

    Sphagnum moss will work yes. The medium yes will be to big for an 85f snake but you can stuff the one side until the snake has a tight fit. You can buy the smalls so you don't have to stuff the hides but you will have to buy mediums in a couple months so either pick up both sizes or just stuff with moss, it's up to you.

    Swell is a good supplier I hear and I was going to post a link but they were out of the mediums.
