Now I need to rate these caves based on our five cave categories: Size, Price, Cleanability, Availability, and Spelunkiness.

@richyrich6099 5 жыл бұрын

There are lots of other cool caves that can work well for snakes too. I distinctly remember buying a ZooMed rock cave for my hermit crabs prior that I know would work great for snakes.

Thank you for the review. Here's a fun thing: I am a potter and I make my own caves for my ballpythons and ratsnake. As they're earthenware, I like to believe they resemble termite hills, the ballpythons' natural hide, in terms of humidity and microclimate. Not sure if that is actually true, but I don't hear the snakes complaining. They're cheap plus I can shape them any way I want. They're a bit heavy, though, but that's not really an issue for me, as I don't use racks. I just don't like plastic.

Also! If you're not into looks and you're short on money, going to the dollar store/other cheap places and getting non-clear plastic tubs for "caves"/shed boxes is a great alternative. Or, large/medium bowls can also do the trick, if you cut a hole in them and smooth the sides down.

I just purchased 2 extra large hides for her because she is now 52 inches long with quite a large girth. She will be 5 years old in January 2022.
