C. vegrandis setup

[jtpRUGGER]

I was wondering if anybody had any tips on a setup for vegrandis...I know their basic environmental needs, etc., but I've never kept this particular species before, and was curious about information on keeping them. Any tips would be appreciated.

Oh, and for clarification, setting them up at your house is NOT an acceptable tip, Scott and Xain...

What if i promise not to steal your panamints anymore...

[jtpRUGGER]

Both of you...NO.

Ok...I guess I wasn't specific enough...I was mainly looking for substrate suggestions. I've got them on newspaper, but I prefer something that looks a little more natural for my slower metabolism stuff...has anyone had success with other options? (I know you said cypress, scott, but all mine is still very wet)

Hello,

I am currently taking care of 3 Crotalus vegrandis. One of them is still in quarantaine and housed on woodchippings. He is doing great on the basic requirements!

1.1 Is housed in a terrarium of 110 x 60 x 60 cm and locally heated to about 30 C. We use a mixture of sand (looks beter as one type of sand) , soil and dried leaves! Of course completed with wood and stones.

Hope this helpes!

I keep my pair of vergrandis on Betachip and it works really well for them. Grant
