Hide Size & Weight for Antaresia Childreni

[Shanni]

So we're in the process of setting up a click clack for Shanni to get her first Children's Python hatchy in the next few months . . . while shopping today I saw these little silicone pinch bowls at Big W. they were only $3 for a 4 pack so I'm hoping they'll work well as hides, they'll be easy to cut a little entrance in & the black ones will be nice & dark inside . . . so our question is will they be suitable or should be be looking for something heavier or larger, ta Terri & Shan

They look fine ...

You may find that they will push them around easily unless you anchor them somehow.

We just hatched 10 children's pythons through maternal incubation. They are now 5 days old. Gorgeous .

I found small plastic pot plant saucers are perfect for hatchlings, just cut a small hole in them and silicone a small piece of tile, slate or flat rock to the top, this adds weight and gives the little guys something to rub on to help them shed

i tend to use some pvc pipes cut in half or an ag-line pipe cut in half , you can also use them as moulds for concrete hide making

haha, so as it turns out the hide I had ready for a hatchy is a bit small for a 12 month old . . . Noodle still liked it though
