Default Ideas for hides.

I'm in the process of setting up a viv for my new Northern Pines both around 6 ft. I placed quite a large piece of bark in resting on a small rock and a few branches.
I was going to get another piece of bark for another hide but not sure because they tend to re-arrange the viv everynight.
Has anyone got any ideas for quite sturdy hides that they can't tip or move to the other side of the viv?
Pics would be nice.

if you put plant pots that have been cut in half down the middle they seem to work for most snakes

we use coir hanging basket liners for our royals. they are made of coir and as they are soft and flexible it doesnt matter if they are moved about much! £1 from poundland. Or go to the other extreme and get a heavy ceramic plant pot with a single large drainage hole in the bottom. turn it upside down and wahey!! a hide that reatins the heat and can even be filled with moss for when they are shedding.
