    B.B.'s Digs...

    Some of you may have seen my posts in the Pics section of my new Ghost Male, B.B.

    I figured I'd share a pic of him enjoying his new home

    He is in a 12qt tub with a hide, fake plant, and water dish. Paper towel for the substrate.
    He is currently sitting on a strip of 4" flexwatt that is running to a dimmer. The temps are being monitored
    with a digital thermometer w/probe.
    I know the dimmer isn't ideal, but it will work until I get paid next and can order a thermostat

    Pretty boring pictures I know...just a tub, but still thought I'd share Heck, I'll throw one of him in for fun

    (Oh, and I know it seems bright in my room...but the overhead light is maybe on for 2 hours a day max...usually just
    a desk lamp)

    Very nice boy! See if you can't cram in another hide, though. He'll really appreciate the choice!

    I'd suggest that a second hide would be prudent. Often a BP will choose security over thermoregulation. two hides one on the cool side one on the warm don't force the animal to choose it can have both.

    Question on fitting a second hide in there...he is about 250grams...and most suggestion on here say he is good in a 12qt up to 500 grams.
    It is impossible to fit 2 hides (that he would fit it) and a water dish in a 12qt tub.

    Do breeders squeeze all that into a 12 qt tub? Or for that matter, a 6qt tub when they are hatchlings?

    Edit: Rebel, I am thinking about the Hydrofarm thermostat since I only have one snake right now...and it's only about $40 shipped...thankfully for now, my room temp stays fairly stable +-2 degrees most of the time.

    the breeders put the tub in the rack so the rack itself work like a hide,you can try just cover the front & three sides of the tub with some dark paper
