FYI, I used to use these for years, many of my snakes really liked them, and I didn't remember where I'd gotten them until I happened to run across them
again here: https://beanfarm.com/collections/bed...hide-out-large
There is one access hole (upper R) but you can cut sides for more if wanted...hard to see in photo but the front slopes down a little, and the
large round space fits a standard water bowl; the weight of the water holds the (fairly lightweight plastic) hide down, and snakes that are shy feeders feel
safe to grab food left near the opening (bonus: f/t prey stays out of the substrate!) The entrance hole could be enlarged for BPs, I used these for king, milk
& young gopher & bull snakes, etc. I do wish they made them in even larger sizes...
My other "weird hides" are emptied-washed & slightly-modified plastic vinegar jugs: I cut out the part where the handle is, keeping the capped top*. I use
these as "humid hides" for my corn snakes, with damp moss inside. *I can re-soak the moss when it dries out & easily un-cap the top to pour the water out.
You don't want to keep the handle part, because snakes can get stuck. jug is easy to wedge among their branches (they have cool & warm hides on the
floor also) and they seem to use & like these.You need to keep the cap on too, so they don't get stuck in that hole either...snakes do silly things.
(these are gallon jugs, btw)
