Re: Brazilian Rainbow advice...

I've not used radiant heat panels, but hear they are quite good at (safely) simulating a natural environment. The only downside is that, unlike undercage heating, they won't help as much with humidity (meaning, you can place Flexwatt right under the water dish to promote evaporation; not an option with heat panels).

Temp sounds perfect for the high end. What is her low end at?

Both moist hide and water dish sound fine.

Decor is optional. So long as the snake has a hide to -- well, hide -- in, she should be fine. The downside is all keeper-related: keep in mind that anything you use to decorate must be periodically sanitized. That can cost a lot of time in a heavily-decorated viv.

Brazilians generally only climb as babies. Once they grow up, they are primarily terrestrial snakes. All my vivs are 12 inches high.

okay, well its final, she is getting a smaller cage...as for heat, the temps are high end around 82-84.. cool end is around 73-74... i put a huge humidity box in there for her but she is still underneath the substrate.


as soon as i get the temperment tamed back down, she will go into a smaller cage, prolly 4'x16''x12'' ... maybe 16 inches high.
