My 3 corns absolutely love toilet roll tubes. they love getting in them, pushing them off the shelf in the viv, climbing up the long ones, digging under them and most annoyingly, thowing them in the water bowl!

Anyone else's corn/s, snake/s like them too?

They are also handy for scooping up the few woodchips with poo on and throwing the tube with poo inside straight in the bin.
 
Yup!!! In fact, only one of my snakes has actual hides! Patches, my BP is too big for toilet paper tubes, so she has log hides which will eventually go to one of the others when she gets too big for them. Both Zeke and Katerina have toilet paper tube hides.

One great idea that I got from a member on here is to hang a tube from the top of the viv. We dubbed these "hangey-hides" around my place, and the snakes love them.
 
Bless. Our biggest corn will not be able to curl up in the tubes for much longer, he has his head sticking out one end and half of him out the other.
 
Lupe has a long one, and she loves it. She goes into in for days it seems...she might come out and go back in and I just don't see her do it, but it seems like she's always in that thing!
 
One of my 2nd graders came in with a tube with yarn strung through it & when I asked him what it was, he said that it was a "swing" for TicTac (the class corn snake)...now that I see that people attach them to the top of the viv, I see that he wasn't that far off after all! :)

3 of my 4 corns have an assortment of papertowel and toilet paper tubes; I personally prefer the tubes from White Cloud toilet paper because they don't use any glue to attach the toilet paper to the tube. :)
 
We have a long one, that used to be part of xmas paper tube which we slit down one side and we've put it over the edge of the top shelf in the viv to stop the woodchips getting knocked into the water bowl below.

We also have lots of toilet tubes lining the edges of the viv as our snakes seem to like pooing in the corners where the floor meets the wall, this way its much easier to clean, simply replace the dirty tube.
 
I work in a print shop, I can get tubes up to 61" long, with a 3 inch dimeter strong enough for me to stand on. If any of you have large snakes, I suggest going to a print shop that makes blue prints, we chuck tons of those things out for recycling every week, and give them away to anyone who wants them.

And as of right now, all hides are inferior to the aquairum decoration I just bought.
 
Mine used to love them, now she wont go anywhere near it after I put an empty cardboard egg carton in there :p
 
Nibblet loved 'em when she was smaller. As she grew, I had to slit them down the middle and tape 2 together to make a wider tube (she likes to turn around inside). We finally switched to mailing tubes. We get them from the Karate school in town (used for delivering swords and other weapons/tools).
