Well, what a difference a month makes!
I am now able to get a new snake this summer after all (I had been building up a minimum savings after being financially hurt by the NE wind storm)
And I had it down to a choice between a bull snake, a BRB, and a Woma Python. After visiting the Manchester Reptile Expo and handling all three types, I made a *tough* decision - my next snake will be a BRB! I have always been enthralled by them and now that I have experience maintaining high humidity levels I feel I can handle it. It was the first snake I ever wanted but didn't feel up to the challenge until now.

Anyway, I'm on a waiting list for babies from Dave Colling at Rainbows R Us - late summer due date!

Please share your advice with me. I've done my research but it's not the same as hearing from you guys! My first questions are:
what size tub is best for a neonate?
snug hides or loose hides?
at what size/age do their humidity requirements drop from 90%+ to 70%+

Thank you
