Question 3 questions

1. Does my ball python need a big bowl if he never soaks in it? Humidity is always 60-70%. And last 2 sheds have been perfect.

2. Can you put fish tank decorations in snakes cage?
3. Would a 20 long b okay for a baby brb? Do they get stressed out like balls do in big tanks?

Thanks guys.

Re: 3 questions

1. It's better to have it, and have him not use it, than have him need it and not have it.
2. My carpet python's favorite hide is a fake skull from the fish tank section.
3. Most baby snakes are spooked by big spaces because they're prey to just about everything. I don't know about rainbows, just that they climb to avoid predation, so they may do ok with more space, as long as there's vertical space.

Re: 3 questions

Do fish tank decorations need to be disinfected as you would with branches etc??

Re: 3 questions

not really, if they are brand new, just rinse them off.

if they have been in an aquarium, then wash them off good.

Re: 3 questions

it's a whole ship if you look close.

he goes in and out the port holes and curls up inside the ship.

I got that big ol thing for free, didn't know what else to do with it.

Re: 3 questions

This is one of those logs that sits on the bottom of an aquarium... my snake likes it a lot.

Re: 3 questions

Haha well thanks guys, I will pick up the decor I was looking at, as for the water bowl, ill just leave it...... and as for a brb tank, ill prolly get a 20 gal tall for her and put some branches in it.... the 10 gal gets too hot I think.... some times it gets up to 90 :-( and she is always on the cold side.... but she's been looping and pee ING just fine....


Thanks!

Re: 3 questions

My only concern with putting your brb in an aquarium is that it'll be really hard to maintain the 80% humidity that rainbows want. Mine's in a sterilite tub, on reptibark, with airholes drilled 1/3 up the side.

Re: 3 questions

Humidity isn't a problem for me, all my snakes are in a lil closet and humidity is constintalyaround 80, and I spray my brb cage twice a day for extra.
