Where is a good place for snake "stuff"?

Old enough to know better
I was wondering if you knew of a site that sells viv decor and hides, waterbowls, etc. for cheaps.
 
If you know specifically what you want, I've had really good luck with eBay (especially lighting) or Amazon.
 
Dollar stores, craft stores, hardware stores, are also great to scope out for stuff like that. I try to avoid pet shops like the plague because they're pretty much always over priced.

As Nanci said, ebay and Amazon and other online vendors are also great!
 
Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Dollar Store, any craft store carries fake plants that are cheap. Anything can be a hide. (naturally harvested cork curls, custom-made "cave", or an empty Saltines box) Depends on the look you're after, and any water dish will technically suffice, though it's better to have a wide, low, heavy one that won't tip and is easy to clean. If you're primarily concerned with cheapness, remember that the snake really doesn't care, as long as it has comfortable temperatures and a sense of security. Thousands of snakes live on newspaper with a dog dish and nothing else.

I get most of my hides and dishes at the dollar store. For hatchlings and yearlings, I use ceramic plant pot saucers for water and my adults get deli cups in a 4" PVC coupling holder. For hides, my hatchlings get the plastic pot saucers with a hole cut out and paper towel/toilet paper rolls cut in half (replace when soiled). These saucers range from 0.25-$1 each and can be found at Dollar Stores or Walmart. My adults get various cardboard boxes (granola bars, cereals, etc.) that I replace when soiled.
 
If you want fancier looking natural stuff, try LLL Reptile or ReptileSupply, I think they have pretty cheap prices for Americans.
 
Thanks all, I have an Amazon Prime membership and so anything from Amazon itself (and other outside vendors who accept Prime) gets shipped for free! I have bought hides and water bowls from them, and the prices on screen lids are great.
 
I also just discovered a HUGE dollar store opened up in my little town! I will check them out this week!
