Hello,

I have been looking around at different hides and stumbled across these black molded hides from LLL Reptile. This is their largest one and according to an email reply, the entrance hole is 3" x 3". Is that large enough for an adult NBTS? Thx!

Yes, all of mine are 3" wide and around 2-1/2" tall openings. Even the big fat ones gets in and out without any trouble.

One of the hides I use for my big female is actually a rodent hide (guinea pig maybe?) My female loves it! Here is a pic of her tank, you can see it in the middle;

Yes, this would be large enough. I have one and it works great for her! Do you just have one?

I have hides for both sides, just don't like all the space they take up. I'm using various sizes of slate to create them.
