To save money I'm going to make my snakes some bigger hides with salt dough but I'm stupid and a tad confused. 
When I bake the dough do I need to keep it on the mould (a large exo terra hide I already have) or do I dry it until it holds it's shape first then bake it?
I've got a Rayburn (small version of the Aga) which I can turn down to a really low heat. Could I put the dough on the exo terra hide and bake both?
Should I coat the exo terra hide with a thin layer of oil before putting the salt dough on it?
Please help!! |

| I think it does need to be supported, but I think I remember someone posting that a exo terra hide was ruined by the hot water of a dishwasher so im not sure putting it in the oven would be a good idea. maybe try a oven proof dish or something. |

yes i think it was lotabob who melted on in his dishwasher, as acd1984 say's an oven proof dish is best just texture an shape the outside before baking |
