    Re: ok, so here's my sitchapation.

    I thought about that but didnt think they'd fit. At least not two at once. What did you use to cut the hole in it btw?

    The water bowls you have in those pics are what she likes to use. Originally it was a water bowl (go figure, huh? -lol-) but she was constantly tipping it to get under and inside it. Now I just give her a little bowl for water and let her do with that one as she likes. But she bangs it around like I said, and sometimes drops it on herself and I worry she cant get out (even though I know that's probably ridiculous.)

    Two at once? I only house one snake per enclosure. During breeding, the hide is removed.

    I used a solder iron to melt the entrance out.

    Aromatic, and cleanup's a breeze! But fun, no doubt!

    Also, a good bread-knife works for stuff like that. Just use it like a saw.

    No, no, not two snakes at once. I meant two hides at once. Everyone says the tub itself is a hide but my tubs are in a relatively high-traffic area, so I like to give two hides.

    These hides are large enough to allow the snake to choose warm or cool end of the hide, yet dark enough to provide a sense of security. Don't believe it? This girl was in the cool side of the hide! And she was 2500 grams.

    I like using heavy, crockery bowls for water. None of my snakes can tip them over.. and I never end up with cold-water-soaked tubs.
