Well... after a few debates about BRBs and aquariums VS rubbermaids, it's now time to join the popular world of rubbermaids
I was one that firmly beleived that I could keep BRBs in an aquarium for a long time, but it's now time to change my mind.
Allthough I firmly beleived in my opinion, I was allways opened minded enough to "listen" to my snakes needs and be ready to make any modifications in their keeping. It's now time.
I could keep on leaving them in a modified aquarium, but the size needed would be too big.
None of our snakes are in rubbermaids and if possible I'd like to ear your suggestions on an alternative. Keep in mind I know nothing about keeping snakes in closed or semi-closed environnements. I'm use to keep them in open top tanks, where I need to mist often, supply humid hide boxes, etc.. So I do know how to keep a good hygrometry and temperature in such enclosure, but not in closed cages or rubbermaids. It might look dumb for those who are use to do that since keeping snakes in rubbermaid is known to be easier, but for me it's a whole different ball game.
Do any of you keep your BRB in nice looking home made cages ?
If so, can you give me a detailed description of your setup and if you have any pics it would be even better.
My last option, rubbermaids..
For those who use this method, how strong of a heat pad do you need ? I imagine that in a close environement like a rubbermaid it's pretty easy to boil a snake.
Is high humidity bad ? can it cause scale rot ?
And do you keep a dry and humid side, if so... how do you do that ?
Thanks.
