1. Does my ball python need a big bowl if he never soaks in it? Humidity is always 60-70%. And last 2 sheds have been perfect.

2. Can you put fish tank decorations in snakes cage?
3. Would a 20 long b okay for a baby brb? Do they get stressed out like balls do in big tanks?

Thanks guys.

1. It's better to have it, and have him not use it, than have him need it and not have it.
2. My carpet python's favorite hide is a fake skull from the fish tank section.
3. Most baby snakes are spooked by big spaces because they're prey to just about everything. I don't know about rainbows, just that they climb to avoid predation, so they may do ok with more space, as long as there's vertical space.

Do fish tank decorations need to be disinfected as you would with branches etc??

[infernalis]

not really, if they are brand new, just rinse them off.

if they have been in an aquarium, then wash them off good.

Lol what would the lil snakey want with a big-*** plastic dolphin?

[infernalis]

it's a whole ship if you look close.

he goes in and out the port holes and curls up inside the ship.

I got that big ol thing for free, didn't know what else to do with it.

This is one of those logs that sits on the bottom of an aquarium... my snake likes it a lot.

Yeah Lola has a log and a tiny lil cave and for some reason she favours the log no matter which side of the viv its on

Haha well thanks guys, I will pick up the decor I was looking at, as for the water bowl, ill just leave it...... and as for a brb tank, ill prolly get a 20 gal tall for her and put some branches in it.... the 10 gal gets too hot I think.... some times it gets up to 90 :-( and she is always on the cold side.... but she's been looping and pee ING just fine....


Thanks!

My only concern with putting your brb in an aquarium is that it'll be really hard to maintain the 80% humidity that rainbows want. Mine's in a sterilite tub, on reptibark, with airholes drilled 1/3 up the side.

Humidity isn't a problem for me, all my snakes are in a lil closet and humidity is constintalyaround 80, and I spray my brb cage twice a day for extra.
