Default Reptile Hides/Water Dishes for Snakes

Can anyone recommend a good site or resource for natural looking water dishes and hides for snakes. I have a young Brazilian rainbow boa and I want to find some nice decor for her vivarium I am creating. If you have pics,I would love to see them!

Thanks!

Hi! We have some very creative people on this forum, and one of them is Froggsong, who posted an article about creating fake hides for snakes: “How to Build Realistic Hides for your Ball Python” at How to Build Realistic Hides for your Ball Python - Vivarium Forum

Also, another website with some good info about building your own is here:

Lizard care, and fake rock wall landscapes

When you build your own, you can make them fit where you want them to be and make them look like you want them to look.

Have fun!

i would just create something his size or a little larger... as far as i know rainbows will rarely use them if caged correctly... i would do wide leaf plants on the ground and lots of branches for him to climb on... maybe silicone some slate or rocks together and throw a nice cover plant on either side to hide the entrance... he should enjoy climbing through a bunch of limbs with good plant cover... good luck.
