Re: Looking for new snake
Brb's need more than just a humidity hide. They need constant high humidity throughout their enclosure.
You need a substrate that retains moisture without becoming mouldy or rotten. Eco Earth, Cyprus mulch, orchid bark etc are all good at this.
I've not kept brb's but I'd question the effectiveness of a uth keeping the ambient air temperatures up high enough to support high humidity-they only really heat what is directly above then not the air as a whole however if a more experienced brb keeper corrects me on this point that's fine..
Just remember that a BRB is a specialist snake and 'making do' like you can with some other species is not as easy. It pays to buy the right equipment, which may be more expensive, than muddling through on a budget.
