Now I need to rate these caves based on our five cave categories: Size, Price, Cleanability, Availability, and Spelunkiness.
There are lots of other cool caves that can work well for snakes too. I distinctly remember buying a ZooMed rock cave for my hermit crabs prior that I know would work great for snakes.
@@richyrich6099, what score does it receive based on our five categories?
@@ClintsReptiles Size: 4 out of 5 (I remember it being very big)
Price: 5 out of 5
Cleanability: 5 out of 5
Availability: 3 out of 5 (I remember getting mine in a Petsmart, but I wasnt able to find it online yet for some reason. Trying to find pictures of it)
Spelunkiness: 5 out of 5 (at least in regards for my hermit crabs)
I love your content man, keep up the great work!
Richy Rich So a total score of 4.4 out of 5. That’s pretty good
Spelunkiness is very important.

Everyone’s like “Thanks this is so helpful, I really like that one for my snake!” Then there’s me, who just watches the videos because it’s cool and interesting and entertaining, despite the fact that I don’t have a snake and probably never will 😂
AbbyGirl 8 so same!!
So relatable
Same
Honestly me though 😂
AbbyGirl 8 same here lmao 😂
Train station: wins
Thomas had never seen such bullsnake
My ball python just shed. It was great. This video was really helpful thank you so much.
Joshua Grainger ayo same lmao. Eye caps and all I was so hype. This channel was by far the most helpful.
thats awesome mine just did the same last Tuesday!
@@lmaoson337 My guy has had 3 consecutive perfect sheds, and I always feel like such a proud mama when I find it 😊 The shed box is magical lol
sunfloweq_ Snakes can't be guys?
Dave Redacted ?
Cleaning with a spare toothbrush is a great idea! I have a Zilla hide and I can confirm that the lip around the inside is an absolute pain to get urates out of.
Might it be possible to sand it out?
"Why am I a snek?" Existential Thoughts with Twiggy should be an occasional series on Instagram or something. X-D
"we're going to judge these caves based on 4 criteria"
Definitely Clint's reptiles vibes
The Great Wolf 😂
But is the cave... STINKIN RAD????
I love both of these channels lol, and I definitely had the same thought when she brought up the criteria
She protec

But more importantly
Which make da best habitat?

Hi Emily I just want to say you inspire lots of people not to be afraid of snakes daily and you are just an amazing person in general.Keep being awesome!
Sarcastic Potato I like your profile pick
This is helpfully
I love it when you give your snakes personality edits and it’s so cute and thank you for the information & being amazing snake mom
I'll never own a snake. Still watched😉
Same
Omgosh I am the exact same but I love her videos!
My Family HATES snakes, But i lovee emily's videos anyways.
same, i have to move out first
I said the same thing, now I have a Carpet Python. 😂
I love how you mention that we get a better deal on different sellers and encourage us to shop there even though using your amazon links helps you out more.
Been subscribed to your channel since you had around 500k subs and I've observed that you really seem to care about your subscribers and appreciate them unlike a lot of other CZcams channels.
Thanks for this video! I really want a snake and this is very helpful😊😊
"why am I a snek?"
philosophical snek be askin the real questions here
Emily you’re videos are so engaging. I feel like when I am watching you’re videos you are talking to me in person.
I really enjoyed this. The new style Exo Terra caves are by far my favorite. ♥️
I love how genuinely helpful this channel is and how wholesome Emily is. She just out here trying to get us the best prices so we can better spoil our snek bebeys
Wow. You have no idea how perfect the timing is for this video. I super appreciate it.
YIKES I WAITED THIS VIDEO SO LONG!!!!!!!!
THX
This is helpful as one of my hides is a fish tank decoration
Hey emily! I wasn't having a great day today but i watched your video and it made me feel better. Thank you for educating people and showing how cool reptiles can be!
Thank you for the review. Here's a fun thing: I am a potter and I make my own caves for my ballpythons and ratsnake. As they're earthenware, I like to believe they resemble termite hills, the ballpythons' natural hide, in terms of humidity and microclimate. Not sure if that is actually true, but I don't hear the snakes complaining. They're cheap plus I can shape them any way I want. They're a bit heavy, though, but that's not really an issue for me, as I don't use racks. I just don't like plastic.
Omg I just got the notification on this video and when I saw it a screamer I luv ur vids and this one is awesome and u know ur stuff😱
You’re so amazing! You have shown me how cute and amazing snakes are and made me want one so bad but my parents are scared of them. Love you Emily
I love how you make comments from your reptiles, it's one of my favorite things about your channel.
definitely an interesting vid for me. i am a woodworker and having recently gotten into reptile i have decided to see how effectively i can make natural timber hides. got a few ideas but your comments about wall thickness and the interior lip made a lot of sense.
Just be careful they don't mould depending on the humidity requirements
I just bought some new caves !! Thanks for the great video!!
Us: gets the train cave thingy
Amazon: why dose everyone buying model train tunnels
Amazon: Hey, you wanna buy this model train?
Early Squad where you at😎
Thanks for the helpful video! Everytime I have a question I can always just come to you and you are very good at informing your viewers on not only what they need to know but anything extra. Definitely will support you for as long as you do youtube. 🤗
You make me happy ever single time you upload
This is very helpful, thank you 😊
I love your videos so much!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
I appreciate the honest reviews of these including price.
Thank your for your video on making a humidity box my bp had a great shed. As a first time snake owner I was trying to get my humidity up and the box worked wonders
Can you show the baby FWC sometime in an upcoming video? Been awhile since we seen that cutie:)
She's growing like a weed! I'll see what I can do ;)
False Water Cobra
I'm sort of early love all your vids and just sent some fan mail!!
I only recently found your channel, but I want to thank you for all that you do. I've been wanting to get a ball python for awhile, but I'm still getting the supplies I need to create the habitat that I would like for her. So this helps a great deal. Thank you very much.
I didn’t realize how much went into caves! I was just going to use a Tupperware container and cut a whole out but now I’m definitely buying a cave. I’ll probably get that plastic black cave. I’m getting a Mexican Black king snake next week and I’m soooooooooooo exited! You’re videos have educated me so much!
I use a ellios pizza box for my corn and a glove box for my king, I'm going for a broke look.
I have paper towel tubes, black plastic takeout containers, and the cocohusks used in planters. I feel ya on the broke look
Dollar tree is amazing when you are low on funds. I got fake flowers and leaves from there and completely changed the look of my tank for $7
You can get some from forest and their great!
@@koinglmao4059 just make sure they’ve not had pesticides sprayed on them and that they’ve been cleaned thoroughly
@@battlebear437 yea just bake it for two hours
You are the best person EVER!!! You are my inspiration!!!
I got a eastern ribbon snake a couple weeks ago and i love him thanks to you and other guides i learned a lot and i want to thank you
Thanks for posting this. Very helpful as I’m considering getting my first snake hopefully pretty soon.
This is seriously the earliest I've been to a video lol.
Same
I’m a child and am getting a garter snake but have had so much trouble finding a cave. Then I find out this god posted. TYSM
Also! If you're not into looks and you're short on money, going to the dollar store/other cheap places and getting non-clear plastic tubs for "caves"/shed boxes is a great alternative. Or, large/medium bowls can also do the trick, if you cut a hole in them and smooth the sides down.
[MysticalPringle] wow thanks!
@@sombreroduck6209 Yup! If you want anymore saving tips, I'm your gal. I am very skilled in the ways of, "being broke, " and, "does that tiny plastic cave actually cost twenty bucks? Not in my house buckaroo."
Love your reviews! Sooo helpful!
Have y'all ever done a video on the process of how you clean your racks/tanks/ hides etc. ? It would be interesting to see y'all's process with all the aminals under your care. Plus it would be super helpful to know what cleaning products you use. can't express how helpful the info the channel puts out is!
I have the "new" style Exo-terra and my two snakes love them!
Great work!
I clicked so fast!
I'm getting two of my snakes bigger vivs soon because they have nearly outgrown their current ones so this video was really helpful for finding new hides to populate the larger space they have and to replace some of their old smaller ones that they have started to poke out of a little.
woah ,i have never been this fast to your videos this is so cool love you
Emily is such a peach. She tells us the best price even though the amazon versions benefit her 💕 we love you Emily!
Ed u need to be on more!❤️
You must be reading my mind. I am about adopt a ball python from a friend and was just thinking about hides and started looking at some (trying to figuring out which is better, pricing, etc etc). Then you post this. Thanks a million! You have made my life just a little bit easier!
The second set of exo terra caves is what I use. I have the medium and large for my ball python. I absolutely love them. They are very easy to clean and very roomy inside them. Thank you for sharing Emily. Loved the video.
I definitely am getting some villa caves now cause I absolutely loved that cave.
I am looking to get a snake and this was really helpful. Great work!
Edit: Thank you for the like!
See, this is a video most keepers search for but would never find actual good content for. Great video and very original!
Thank you so much! I was struggling to find a hide for my 6ft corn snake because everything I'd found was way too small and this video ended my hours long search plus saved me some money.
I didn’t know caves could be so different and unique! Thanks for finding some good deals for us!
The main pro to cave number 2 is the aesthetic emily the AESTHETIC
I love snake discovery and learn so much from the videos! And I am hoping to persuade the people in my house to get a snake.. they’re scared of them
I love your videos, this helped a lot! ❤️❤️❤️
I was looking for a video like this, thank you so much! :) Please do the Reptile Shelter one as well, and a video on what you can use for a moist hide box for shedding.
I love your videos and teaching me a lot on how to handle and what use with your pet snake!!!!!!keep up the awesome videos❤️❤️
I really want a snake but my mom and dad don't like snakes. There is a place near me that allows visitors to interact with a whole bunch of animals. Every time you post it makes me happy thank you for what you do. My mom has to come with me because I am 11 so she hides in the back lol.
Please come to the panhandle of Florida there are lots of rattelsnakes and watersnakes and some hognoses also lots of gators.
Please come to the Panhandle
Come pls
I have a leopard gecko and you guys really inspired me because I have depression and my gecko has just made me really happy and you guys inspired me to get her and I wanted to say thank you because you really deserve it
I could barely concentrate on the video itself. Your shirt in this is just so cute! I just felt I had to say that omg.
Oooh good video idea!!!
Omg I’m the first viewer yay I love your snakes and how you take care of them I look up to you
I think it's the glitch of no views people were before you sorry to break it to you
Ya
I used to hate snakes. I was afraid of them and now I know so much about them and actually want one thanks to your educational videos. Love the channel...keep up the good work.
A very informative video, thanks for the reviews to help us fellow reptile owners out!
Turns out, my sister had a noodle but just kept it at her bf's house! So now, we have a noodle at home!
Emily in vid: I just want to find you the best deals
Me: thanks!!!
Me: remembers I have no snakes
So many options. I have the Exo Terra large ("old" style) for my 4 ft corn snake and he loves it tbh. I had a friend cut off, widen, and sand down the front of one of the "new" style Exo Terra hides, and it now functions as a nice hide for my 5 hermit crabs, who adore it (and they have so much space in there!)
Thank u for all the information u have given me. Because of all that u have taught n showed n explained in all of your videos about snakes,alligator, leopard geckos, n iguanas im no longer scared of them, im actually fascinated wit all of them.
I-I never thought I would be watching this before like never
Luv u!! You inspired me to get a snake!!! I am going to send you some fan mail!
Im early! I MIGHT be getting a snake soon so all your videos are SO helpful! My parents are making me create a 10+ slideshow of all the thingsi need (vets, vet prices, bedding, cages, sellers, ect) to convince them to get me a snake, so you videos are so helpful!
I just stumbled upon this channel and I’m glad I did because I plan on getting a corn or hog nose snake when I move out!
My favorite is the zilla too and you are awesome keep up the good work!!!! Like if you agree with Emily being the best

Love your videos snake discovery!
CZcams logic lol
Think about it....
I love snakes , ive always wanted one.
I brought home a corn snake years ago, my poor husband almost had a heart attack. He was so afraid. After he passed away, i considered getting one. But my health deteriorated and i had to move out of our home.
So watching your videos , are just a pure joy for me.
Thank you for all your hard work and knowledge.
Love the creativity of the model train tunnel!
"Why am I a snek?" 🤣🤣
You should either:
1) make a music video
2) make a whole vid about shyane. Hope I didn’t spell her name wrong
She has made a video about Cheyenne already but I would like another one! Also yeah you did spell her name wrong but that's ok
@@sophiejohnson1269 yeah it is I typed it in my comment
Okay good I don’t know how to spell anymore lol
@@honk1856 hey it's ok
@@sophiejohnson1269 oh no problem Haha
Great video with lots of information. When I have purchased hides for my female pastel ball python I have found the the heaviest with largest inside space are the best. When she coils up in the hides she moves the lighter ones all around the enclosure but the heavier ones pretty much stay in place. I just purchased 2 extra large hides for her because she is now 52 inches long with quite a large girth. She will be 5 years old in January 2022.
My brother has the exo Terra one in the small version and we have had it for ages and it works really well for our corn snake!
I love your CZcams channel and i bought the merch i love yall 😍😍😍😍😍
Could you do a video on your male garters? 🐍🐍
Keep on going at filming and it really makes our day I know you have got this Emily
Hi Emily... Im from Philippines and Im a huge fan of yours
I love all of your videos... Im not into snakes and reptiles but with the help of your vids it helps me not to get scared and to love them more
Please keep on making new videos... God bless you
btw it satisfies me to watch all of your reptiles eat 😅
I love your channel. I have a ball python named Rosé
Lol, two of my favorite things, snakes and kpop!
I have a ball Python to but her name is nagini
Dixie White same
Victoria Vadala Nice that name is really cool
Wow I never know thank for letting me know new thing and I really like you video
This video was very helpful Thanks ----------- Your videos are always helpful
I bought an exoterra reptile cave for my very first corn snake literally 20 years ago. Still have the cave and it's one of my favorites aesthetically and impractically.
