This hide is made very well and both my corn snake and ball python spend most of their time in there. YOu can use it for keeping the humidity up with damp pheatmoss so your guys can shed well. THe removable top makes it easy to access my snakes when needed.

My full grown Ball Python has 2 large of these in her tank she loves them. They are very easy to clean, and I keep a small amount of reptile bark or moss in them as well. Best hides I have ever had.

the technique for manufacturing the bases of these, does not suit their use.
by the nature of how they are cast there is no way to gauge the wall thickness of their product. What that means is you may wind up with one like mine, where a slight bump could crack it. The Large I bought a few weeks ago, had a crack, which has since expanded revealing some areas thinner than an egg shell (no kidding) maybe fine for a sculpture but not something to be used, handled and cleaned. With my geckos, I have to pull it out almost every day to check for eggs.
It’s really just a gamble as far as how durable they are, you and the manufacturer have no way of knowing how thick the walls are. Household plaster would be better than what they used to make these, but it would have increased shipping costs from China.
I.e. they should have used a different manufacturing technique
They do look nice and are functional, if they stay together.
