Use what you have available- your snake won't care- only if he doesn't have them. Some people modify plastic containers they buy (like for food, or large plant saucers) but it's hard to find black or dark ones, most (here, anyway) are semi-clear, & your nocturnal BP would rather have a dark "cave". Use what you can both find, afford & cut a doorway into. At least for now- you can worry about being creative later.
I put a black and white lamp box half a hour ago, and it was a bit of a struggle to fit it in with my BP in the way (he was climbing my hand after taking the tub lid off, and after taking him he seemed to be calmer but still as always breathing heavily, which is a surprise but not very pleasant i think), but he decided it's a good climbing option to keep trying to get out on. He did see the inside of the box and seemed interested, but still prefers to keep trying to get out. It's morning and surprisingly he is still being active, which is really concerning. He might be too commited to his log, or he just needs some time to relax and decide to try out the cardboard box. Hopefully he just needs time and could care less bout logs, i will wait and see how it goes. What kinda worries me is the magazine smell from the box, (kinda smelling like ink) but not too strong,but you can always warn me bout anything. Also thanks for the help!
