BRB rubbermaid setup

jjnnbns · 03-12-04, 03:28 AM

I have my new BRB rubbermaid setups about ready to go but am wondering if I should have damp moss in both hides or just one. If not, should it be on the hot or cool end? The heat is from a UTH and I am planning on using Spanish Moss.

Any other tips would be great too, thanks!!

There are a couple of ways to keep your BRB's humid. When they are young I found it best just to fill the whole cage with damp newpaper. That way no matter where they were they were humid. If you are going with hides then they all need to be humid not just on one end or the other.
Spanish moss is more decerotive than functional. If you want to use moss I would go with shagnum instead. I tried it for a while and went back to newspaper because I found it too messy.
Good luck,
Trevor
