• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

I'm considering making some hides, and was thinking..

Some like top openings, because the snake can curl up inside, and have walls on all sides. But this can let in light through the top(thanks Miss_Tuniwha).

Some have the traditional 'door' in the side. No light in from the top.. but will they tend to flip it more?

Would this be a rack vs display thing mainly too? Top opening would be fine in a rack.. no real light coming in anyway. Doorway ones for display units...

Would patterned ones with natural camoflage be preferred? Or solid bright colors? How about ethnic patterns like african patterns for ball pythons.. and Indian designs for burmese.. etc? Maybe some Navejo designs for species on more desert set-ups?

What's YOUR opinion?
 
Well my one ball uses one log hide and he seems to do just fine, my juvenile likes two hides, one log and one rock hide that's enclosed on all sides. As far as the design of the hide I don't Martha Stuart ever made an episode on decorative tips for Burmese python hides, lol. Paint might be harmful, you never know.
