Re: Split in belly scales? : (

This is my snake corner. My borneo is on the top level in the small tub that's sitting in the cardboard box. The three small containers in the corner have 3 tarantulas in them. The rest of my T's (17 others) are in my dedicated exotic room. I decided to bring my snakes into my room so I can keep a closer eye on them. The red packets on the bottom shelf are 12hr instant heat packs in case I lose power. Yup, my ball python gets a HP box right now as a hide - I'm gonna buy her one of those nice black plastic ones next. Until then, she gets random cardboard boxes.


I use the herpstat II to regulate my heatpads. Channel 1 regulates the 2 smaller tubs (borneo + BCI babies). Channel 2 regulates the big tub (ball python).


Since I only have 1 sensor for the two smaller tubs, I have an digital thermometer to monitor temps in the tub without the herpstat sensor. The upper readout is for the probe. So far, temps are within 0.5F between the two tubs. If I need to check humidity, I can throw the whole unit inside one of the tubs since it has a hygrometer as well.


This is my borneo set up. It's very simplistic right now and I plan on keeping it that way until her belly button seals up. Newspaper, deli cup for water, and a black plastic hide. I think it's quite humid in there - you can see condensation building on the left side. I may drill more holes. I have 6 on the lid and there are some on the side as well.

Re: Split in belly scales? : (

I`d leave the holes matey, it doesn`t need any more really. I`d consider spraying the whole lot once a day aswell. Although you have water dropplets on the one side, that`s not a very humid box by the looks of it anyway. A decent humid box would be covered in water dropplets. OR if you really would rather not do that, try a large shallow water dish with a sponge in it. Keep it topped right up, don`t worry about a little spillage, (Because you`ve got your mat UNDER the tub as opposed to IN it) and you`ll have a proper humid enclosure then I recon Are you using a hygrometer? You want it kinda 60%-85% cyclic humidity in there. Cyclic meaning it dries up and then you come along and make it rain some more each evening....

I sprayed down the tub with some hot water so humidity should be very high now. My digital thermometre has a built in hygrometer : P I'll stick it in the tub and see what kinda readings i get
