Next on the list, we've got yet another box that manages to win our hearts. It's the leoterra large snake hide box and it's widely considered as box that has the most suitable features. It does well to keep humidity in for those animals that need humid hides. It is not natural looking ofc but because they are black and so simple it's easy to get them to blend in if you want a natural look that's easy to keep clean. The hide does have sloped sides so there is space around the sides and back where it does not meet the walls of the cage. They keep in the heat on the warmer end of their enclosure, and on the colder sides it provides a nice hiding place.
It's light plastic so it would probably float, but if you put something on top like stones or whatever decor you have it could work. It fits a good size and it is made for a 40 gallon or larger.
