[QUOTE="ArdorAphonopelma, post: 139577, member: 27701"] Natural looking hides are actually expensive especially for the low class folks. Good for both Inverts and snakes. the entrances can get cut out with a hot knife or scissors, depends on how thick the plastic is. Image Links are for Reference.

[B]Plastic Containers[/B] - Bury completely and dig out the front to create an entrance. [B]Container from purchase[/B] - If you bought your invert then you can cut an entrance and bury it completely. [B][I][U][FONT=Courier New]Hides that does not hold humidity:[/FONT][/U][/I] Hornworm Mesh/Rigid plastic mesh[/B] - the mesh is sturdy once you pat down and mold the substrate.
