Re: Fresh and hopeful!
Hi Alessia, thanks for the reply and sorry i'm a bit late with mine!
Since reading what you wrote I have been to another reptile dealer who agreed with what you said and advised I should do one of two things.. Firstly, if I was going to keep the faunarium, he recommended I tape over all but two of the ventilation slots as to better maintain both heat and humidity. However, due to my ball being around the 18" mark, he tends to think he would do better in a ADT viv with lighting, better heat and a bit more space for hides, etc. Re the humidity I cannot give you a reading as I never got myself a hygrometer. This was due to the fact that I was initially advised it wouldn't be necessary when I first got him as the water, etc would suffice for his size. But I had a good think last night and decided to make a couple of immediate changes.. I have now moved the faunarium so that the hide he mostly stays in is facing the radiator allowing all the heat inc heatmat is on his warm side. I also purchased moss which i've put in the second hide between both warm and cooler areas.. ordered a much better digital thermometer with probe and I am giving serious consideration into the ADT viv..
I just had a quick check on him and found what appear to be two very small white balls of white hard pressed toilet paper in his hide. Unsure if this is a "very" bad shed or remains of the mouse he ate just the other day :/ Maybe better I upload a pic later..
On another note i've been offerered a columbian rainbow boa at 13 weeks complete with 3ft viv for £115 and have to say i'm tempted!! God help me i'm becoming addicted already lol! Anyone know the temperament of this snake?
