BRB setup help - too big?

[hazzaram]

Hi everyone. I already own a brb. She's a beautiful little thing and near the end of May/beginning of June I'll have had her with me for a year. She's a great snake and I want to give her the best home possible.

Right now she lives in a pretty sparse tub. She's got a large water bowl, hide and humid hide and that's about it. Her substrate is paper towel. I keep it humid enough that I don't need special substrate and she likes hiding beneath the paper towel.

I have an empty PVC cage. I bought it for her at the last expo but I haven't done anything with it. I need to buy a RHP for it and get it setup but I'm wondering if it's too big for her? It's 24x24x12. I'd prefer not to clutter it up as I do need a hook to get her out of her enclosure and I don't want to have to move everything around to find and hook her... I know bp's get stressed in big open spaces but do brb's, too?

Thoughts? I would keep 2 hides in there as well as a humid hide. I also want to attach branches somehow so she can do some climbing. In her current setup she has nowhere to climb.

I'll attach some pics of her current tub and of her. Sorry if the pics are blurry but she never stops moving!

You should be fine. I've kept my BRB in a 28 quart (which is only a little smaller than your pvc cage) since she was a hatchling and I've never had feeding problems or noticed any stressing. I can't say I have a ton of experience with them but with the one I have its worked fine. I only have 2 hides, some small plastic fern leaves, and a water bowl. Worst comes to worse if she stops feeding just switch back to the smaller tub.

Thanks for the response. I think maybe I'll give it a try. She's pretty shy when it comes to eating anyway and won't eat in front of me even in a tub. I figure I can just cover the door and make it so she can't see out when I feed her lol. It might work better

No problem. I guess the thing to do is just try it out and see. Like I said it can't hurt. Mine eats straight off the tongs though and is not at all shy about it lol so I don't know if yours will behave the same.
