In my Local Pet shop they sell Half coconuts fill with bird food. they look like they would make a perfect hide for Hercules. what i wanna know is if it is safe for him and what i need to do to treat it once its empty?

Cheers for helping

As above, in the past I have bought my own, scooped the coconut flesh out and baked the shell.

Mine are made from the bird feeders, fed the birds first then I scrubbed them clean, then put arch in using a dremmel, then I sterilized it in Milton, then baked it in the over for a bit at 100 degrees and its now Mojo's favourite hide.
So yes IMO they are fine for a snakes hide ;)
