    The Many Options for Hides

    As we all know hides are essential for our little friends. I thought it would be fun for people to post what they like to use for hides. Pictures are welcome!

    I use coconut halves (I but whole coconuts and half and clean them, yummy!), pieces of wood, and plants. I'll post pics after I get home from work. Bill likes to make stuff too.

    Ok, your turn!

    Egg cartons, broken flower pots, bark! Anything a snake can hide in! One time I used a pair of sandals...

    This special hide came all the way from Finland.
    My snakes have worldly tastes.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Re: The Many Options for Hides

    Here is my snakey's favorite hide. I'd like to get him a bigger water bowl, but this hide is connected to the bowl, and don't want to take it away from him....Anyways he looooves this hide, and spends most of time in there with his little head out, looking around. If you look closely, you can see him in it in the picture...He's the little blob on the left side of the "entrance" to his "cave."

    Right now he's hiding in my pajama pants leg...I'm only worried he could leave a "present" in there

    Re: The Many Options for Hides

    I used to make Thatch Roof Cottages out of upside-down flower pots and coconut fiber. But this weird dragon with a beefy arm growing out the back of its neck kept burninating them. So I dispensed with the thatch roofs and just use flower pots.

    When Tiny was smaller, and I had him housed with Scarlett and Little Dude, I made a tiny hide out of an old Crystal Lite container. I felt that the flower pots were too big for his comfort.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    Ashtrays are good. Decorative ceramic dishes with petals or fluted edges add color town enclosure. Spoon rest saucers are a favorite with tiny butlers. (Snug and low.)
    I have also knocked the back or bottom off of quaint looking bird houses.
    A current project is a pair of fake, hollow. Railroad ties and a rusty foam 'rail' for a naturalistic Butler habitat that resembles the old rail line I find them along.
