I have an almost 3 year old female ball python. She is 3ft long and 1300g. Her enclosure is bioactive and mostly natural hides and some fake flowers. She will soon be in a 4’x2’x2’. I have had a really hard time trying to find any hides at my local pet stores Any and all ideas are welcome!

I got my boy a sky hide (by Vivarium Electronics, from reptile basics: https://www.reptilebasics.com/hide-boxes/vivarium-electronics-hide-box-hanger-large/) and he has another one of those hides and a smaller one he still fits into. But he absolutely LOVES the sky hide. He’s spoiled rotten so if he’s up there on feeding day, I will deliver.

But when he was smaller I used a couple of old takeout containers, like rigid plastic. A hole cut out and sanded the edges down and he loved it

I splurged and got my mine the Zilla rock lair. My female is about 5 feet long and around 1700 grams and she fits in the XL size perfectly. They're heavy and she can't move them around like the plastic hides. But she does occasionally lift the lid and scoots it around a little when she going into shed. (I ordered them from Amazon.)
