BRB: No rubbermaid, no aquarium.

[wyz]

Ok !

Last thread about BRB housing "pictures of your setups" made me think alot. I'm not worried about our snakes health, but it's a fact that me and my GF need to spend a certain amount of time in order to give them the humidity they require.

This being said... we might be able to have a nice setup, requiring less maintenance.

Could we go in between ?,,, no rubbermaids, but no aquarium.

I'd like to built a custom enclosure.. melamine sides, back and top with glass or plexi sliding front door. I still want to put some decorations though so that it looks nice.

I'd like to get your ideas, because like I said in the above post, we'll need to move our BRB in a bigger enclosure soon.

We were thinking of 24 inchs deep, 48 inches long and 18 to 24 inches high.

What do you guys use to lock and secure the 2 sliding windows ? Is there a special part that I can purchase at Home Hardware ?

Our biggest question concerns ventilation... it's said that BRBs need ventilation, but what is enough ou too much ventilation ?

In the tanks we have presently they have more than enough if I compare to a rubbermaid with holes. So in a custom enclosure, what type of opening is need ? Because the words "lots of ventilation" don't mean the same thing to different keepers.

anxious to read your replies !
