| pets at home hamster/gerbil etc hides, much more cheaper, i recently bought a few for my little 4 month old hatchling, they are big so will do her a while and when i use them i will put lots of shredded paper in them so she'll feel secure. |

most of the juvies have washed out Philadelphia tubs (other brands are available), the adults have biscuit/Celebrations tubs (again, other brands of chocolates are available!)
some do have E-T or reptile branded hides and we also use the bendy stick hides meant for gerbils/guinea pigs/rabbits etc and i really do like these  |
cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos

Plus ceral boxes cut down, cake boxes, butter tubs, biscuit boxesinfact anything I can recycle and use I will.
Saves me a fortune and if they get messed on I just chuck them away.
