OH great thread! I put a few old broken pieces of slate (very thin about hand sized) on top of the substrate (aspen chips) and Mamas burrows half under it with her head sticking out all the time...

I have used lots of different things as food dishes in the past, now I use a small square of grease proof paper for dry ish stuff or folded up foil that can be easilly shaped pulling edges up for anything sloppy. Once eaten its a quick throw away! quick, cheap and easy..

Great ideas especially with the foil dish

Large plastic ice cream containers with lids make great shed boxes.

When drilling or burning air vent holes in the containers be sure to do it from the inside out.
That way the sharp edges will be on the outside of the container.
These edges are sharp enough to injure a snake inside if not done properly.
Just a word to the wise.

I found that a heated knife usually gives smooth edges when melting the plastic but sand paper smooths down the toothy bits well.

I always burn the holes, and always from the inside out. Drilling sometimes cracks the containers. Making the holes from the inside out doesn't always keep sharp "toothy" parts from forming on the inside, but if you press it down with your finger while the plastic is still hot/soft it will usually take care of that.

Cling-film and aluminium foil tubes work great for babies because they are much more narrow than kitchen roll tubes so make them feel safe.the are also made of much thicker and dancer card board so they wont cave in and will probably last longer.I cut one into smaller tubes and stacked them in the shape of a log pile there lots of places to hide and explore.My marcianus loves it!

Yeah, that's the kind I use for small snakes. Narrow, wood-like tubes.
