Weird hiding spots !

Here are a couple of pictures of boxes I am using for hides:

One word of caution, make sure whatever you use does not have any openings that the snake can get stuck in.

Due to the nature of the scale layout, reverse does not work so well, so be careful.

Yes...good advice...always check the boxes for crevices and creases that the snake could get stuck in...if you cut a hole in the box, make sure it is wide enough for the snake to get in and out of and not get stuck...and make sure that there are no sharp edges anywhere. Also...do not use anything that has tape or glue of any kind on it...nothing the snake could get stuck on.

Which reminds me...make sure to check your plants in your enclosure for sharp points and edges...same with the hides. Oh...and if your water dish is heavy...make sure she can't get under it.

Our baby NW, Fish Bait, likes to curl up on top of one specific leaf at the very top of the tank after he eats. It's cute.

As I type, Eskerina is coiled around bits of plastic plant at the top of her viv. She's taken to sleeping up there late evening and through the night. And this is with her due to shed tomorrow or Tuesday (admittedly, she did spend most of the time that her eyes were blue borrowed in the aspen).

Hermes spends most of his time coiled around the top of his plastic hanging plant at the top of his enclosure too. I joke that he thinks he's a poisonous jungle viper...

A little bird just corrected me in a PM...venomous viper, not poisonous....I always say poisonous by mistake...bad bad blonde Marnie!

Jade loves the plant I have for her that I have in there she loves it as well as the rose. Maybe most garters like those hanging plants

They do like to climb and they do like plants. When Hermes isn't at the top of his hanging plant, he's on top of a little bush. Seeley loves hiding in plants. Cee Cee just loves her fake log and her slim jim can...but she does love to climb up and down her hanging plant sometimes.

Sweets, the hognose, has a hide made from a single serve microwave dish from Green Giant broccoli and cheese sauce! It's black, so goes well with his black water dish!

I like this thread...talking about everyone's snakes' different hides and favorite spots. It was funny because last night I cleaned Hermes' tank and I had to remove his hanging plant. I must have put the plant back in a slightly different spot on the glass than it had been before I cleaned the tank...when I put him back in his tank he was all out of sorts and wouldn't go back up into the plant. I had to go back into the tank and adjust the plant...I figured it had been down a little lower. Finally after I adjusted it a couple of times, he went back up into the top of the plant and was happy! Garters are so funny!
