hiding spot

[Anthony]

what is a good object i can use for a hide thats plastic and cheap???

i had a big log from zoo med and not even a few weeks later its got huge mold spots all over it.... im not gona wash it and put it back in there like the lady told me too and risk getting mold on my tegu.... any ideas?

Well thats weird that the log has mold on it. I have one in my habitat and there hasn't been any mold. You can try snake boxes. They are plastic and you can probably get thim at any pet store.

Cut a hole in a cat litter box and turn it upside down. Throw a flat rock on top or mulch and you will never know its there.

Actually, I cut out about 1/3 from the bottom. Works great!

Jefroka, what did you use to cut it out? I tryed cutting a litter box and ended up breaking the thing in half.

I used a roto zip but a dremel tool would work fine as well or even a jig saw.

I used Tin Snips. You could also use a angle grinder.

I use cheap plastic litter boxes also. I have a stack of them in various sizes with various size holes in them in my basement. I use a box cutter to make the holes.

It might not be plastic but certainly cheap making your own clay hide. I was thinking of doing this for my columbian and king snake... I just don't have any flour atm D=.
