Bulk hatchling hides

[SquamishSerpents]

I'm trying to get some ideas on hides for freshly hatched babies.

Last year I was using toilet paper tubes cut in half lengthwise, but obviously they didn't last long, with poop and whatnot

Any ideas on what to use for hides? Preferable re-useable, and dishwasher safe, but that's probably wishful thinking.

I think I'll need about 100?

A lot of people like the RBI hides

You could also get bowls from the dollar stores and cut them using a hot knife.
Cutting 100 bowls could be pretty annoying though

What about those tiny terra cotta pots for crafting that have a single hole in the bottom (top when upside down)? They would be about 2 to 3" at a guess. I have never had a hatchling so I don't know if a hatchling would use a top hole the way an adult will.

I use dark plastic costco salad container bottoms or cheap small aluminum foil pans you can buy in bulk. I find with aspen bedding they have no problems getting under them, so no holes to cut. Both materials clean easy.

Katia, I have a resource to get mini PVC hides, I wanted to get some too, let me know and I can check into the cost if we do a bulk order!

Thanks for all the ideas! The terra cotta pots are. Cute idea, but they might be too tall. I will FB you right now, Terri!

I use the Chinese takeout boxes for my Carpet Python babies. They have the tiny size that would probably work for Cornsnake babies.

I get them from a restaurant supply store, Cash N Carry

I use the PVC T connectors you get in the plumbing section of homedepot. Washable, come I a variety of sizes and cheap
