They want to be tight in their hides. Egg tight. My smaller babies start out in a plastic shoe box with yogurt containers as hides. As the grow they move up to deli cup sized things. Then the bottom of a milk carton. Then a milk carton cut lengthwise. After they outgrow that most don't need the hide but the ones that do end up with cat litter boxes.
You are going to spend a lot of money in hides for the first 2 years buying the right sized ones from stores. If you want them to look nice, get inventive and use things like flowerpots. The snake doesn't care what it looks like as long as it is tight, dark, and the right temperature.
