Not sure which plastic hides you mean - the only ones I know of are the 'Trixie' range sold by Surrey pet supplies - you can google and find their online shop.
Sorry can't help with pastels but other people will know. |

1. Fruit 
As snakes age they change colour, in many it appears as fading but they are not fading really, just changing.
2. I've seen lots of plastic ones, what I can say is my 900 gram+ fella can move his hide around as he wriggles, sometimes he does look like a snakeneck turtle, plastic ones are going to be a nightmare, always turned over or moved.

A cheap alternative to these would be what a few people use - plastic seed trays with an entrance hole cut out.
don't forget shipping on that :) would make them super expensive.Lots you can use,gerbil huts,dog bowls etc etc. |

There are no UK distributors,have alook on ebay they sell on there.and might ship to the uk if you asked them.
Small dog bed would do the same job :) |
