Bird Nesting Box as Snake Hide

[gekosin]

Recently I have been looking for a way to make our snake a raised hide, he loves to climb and the current piece of wood we have doesn't really allow for this...

Would it be ok to use one of the small nesting boxes that people use for finches? They are generally made from that pressed chipboard and I would use planting sticks/ delsticks for him to climb up to get the the box entrance.

The great thing is they also usually have a sliding lid so we will be able to get to him easily.

I do the same. Put something something soft in the box like wood shavings or a cloth for the part they rough out for the nest. I cable tie mine to an branch or just put them in loose. An adult snake of 1.5 meter fits in there pretty well.
