When I get back from class later I'll post pictures of mine. They took all of 2 minutes to make.

What is wrong with having tape on the inside of the tank?

Hi,

Here's a link to a post where I compiled a lot of the tape problem threads.

When my snakes go into blue I bump up their humidity and also put moss into their hides- viola- humid hide! I agree about offering something for low level climbing. I read a research paper suggesting that it is especially the males who like to climb and hang out on low level branches and shrubs, etc.
Great set-up and absolutely pull the tape out!!!!

I did a little googling and found some ideas...I just came back from the store and got some bed a brick. From some other sites, they say it hold humidity very well....time to get a tubberware box and some sand paper

Here's the humid hide that I did.



It's just cheap-o tupperware available at publix or the dollar store or wherever. You can use any old container lying around the house. I have a soldering wand for my tubs, and I just used that to carve out the top. If you dont have a soldering wand, you can just use scissors to cut out a hole, and use an emory board (nail file) to smooth out the edges.

It's not at all difficult. As for the bed a beast, that stuff is a pain. You have to make a ton of it and then find a way to store it. It takes ages to dry out enough to use it, and if you feed in the tank it could be digested by the snake. Just my opinion.

Quik question... with these humid hides

I"m a little confused, Do these things increase humidity in the whole tank...or just inside that hide, so when my snake feels like he needs some moisture, he'll go in the humid hide??

cause if the overall humidty it low in my viv, he'll prob end up laying in there all day.

ok never mind I got it

I was looking at other hides that just cut open a door for the snake to go in and chill.
