I make my own hides out of polymer clay (brand names: Sculpey, Fimo), using a wire mesh armature. I made some for the corns that are 14 inches long by 5 inches wide and about 1.5 inches tall. These hides straddle the warm and cool sides of the cage, so the snakes can thermoregulate as they please without leaving the hide. I used several colors mixed together to achieve a marbled effect, and I throw them into the dishwasher in the rare event that they get pooped on. The finish is matte, and to achieve a high gloss effect I use 2 part epoxy (resin and hardener). The high gloss finish makes the colors more brilliant, and is what I used on the boa's hide.
