Any creative ideas for cool hides?
I have a young Cal King and a young MBK. I currently have the normal half log, paper towel rolls, flower pots and pet store hides in their vivs. Anybody know where I could find some more exotic hides? I saw one member on here that had lego hides in their tank, which I thought was pretty cool, but I'm not very good at building things

Re: Any creative ideas for cool hides?
You can use pretty much anything, you just want to male sure it won't hurt the snake (I wouldn't use a soda can with sharp metal edges), and I prefer hides that you wouldn't have to destroy if you needed to remove the snake. Water proof is a plus as well... I prefer the nat ural look so I'm always grabbing bits of fallen trees etc.

Re: Any creative ideas for cool hides?
I tried stacking flat rocks for a hide, but it's a pain when cleaning. I like the idea of using plastic.

Re: Any creative ideas for cool hides?
I make hides the same way I make foam/grout backgrounds. I also like the look of gourd birdhouses.

Re: Any creative ideas for cool hides?
I made a small cave for my albino checkered garter with paper towel rolls. I'm about to remove it though, it's too much of a pain

Re: Any creative ideas for cool hides?
You can get some pretty neat looking items at Goodwill, yardsales or flea markets. Baskets and crockery you can get for pennies. I saw someone use a clay planter made for strawberry plants. It gave the snake good climbing and hiding spots.

Re: Any creative ideas for cool hides?
I can't help but post here. My snake escaped and I found her in one of my old tennis shoes. I put it in her cage it's her favorite hide now. Plus it's pretty cool looking to see a snake coming out of a shoe- but maybe that's just me.
Anyway- they really do make good hides- they're insulated, totally safe, (unless you have really bad foot funk-lol.), and easy for the snake to get in and you to get it out of. You can decorate it whichever way you want with a Sharpie or you can go uptown and use a fashion statement high dollar shoooo.

Hmm, a birdhouse sounds very interesting.
