Default Accessories for larger snakes

I having abit of trouble finding things such as nice hides/water bowls for my Cuban Boa, or any snake that is of the larger size lol. I think I have found water dish that looks Ok, Zoomed corner one, if anyone has any experience with it? I have some nice Jungle wood as good things to climb, but would like a nice natural looking hide

Any reviews/places to be appreciated!

i gave up looking for a hide big enough for my boa.
in the end i got a washing up bowl cut out an entrance and then
made it look like a big rock using expanding foam polystyrene and grout
the just painted it and sealed it.

its a bit of work but looks a hell of a lot better than a grey washing up bowl stuck in the corner of a nicely decorated viv.

Iv been helping out at a local reptile rescue centre and as money and function is of more importance than aesthetics they have an upside down plastic dog bed as a hide and a baby bath as a bowl for a Borneo short tail and Litter trays as bowls for boas. But like staffy said with foam, paint and non toxic varnish you can have your own custom hides

Thanks for the replys. She currently has a savic Iglo, the same that my pet rats have. I thought about trying to decorate it but I fail so badly at that stuff it would look so shite lol! She has a litter tray for water, thought maybe could build a stand out of poly so that it slots into it? The tray is blue so would look like a pool of really blue water maybe...lol.

Anybody got any info on the large Zoomed corner water bowl?
