Hi all!

Anything appriciated

So long as its non-toxic i cant see any problems
....other than it being hard to clean if something gets on there (mouse blood, poop or even water) since the clay might absorb it.
Varnishing it with non-toxic stuff would probably fix that, but i can see that being more effort and money than just buying a hide would lol
Plant pots, toilet roll tubes, coconuts, wickery bird houses can all make nice cheap hides  |

| Thanks guys, i was just tryna think of low hides cos when i get my snake it will only need a small faun, i've got stuff i will use when it grows up and moves house, but they are a bit too tall for the small faun. typical LOL :) |
