So Im really wanting to get into keeping BPs
I got my first boy I got not long ago who's doing well & Im wanting to get racks eventually (I dont ever plan on breeding them, Ive hated it every time weve bred any sort of other animal lmao Its just not for me I guess, I just wanna have, care for & appreciate some pretty babies haha There are around 6 morphs in total Id really like to get eventually, mostly Bees)
Ill be getting a custom made rack either way (Dads a joiner) & I have a few questions
Would you still just tape a heat mat to the underside of one end of the tub for a cool & hot side? Im aware that itll have to be hooked up to a thermostat, also most tubs Ive seen dont have a thermometer probe/w.e in the tub measuring the temp constantly, do people just use a heat gun? I dont have to worry about humidity, I live in the UK, its not an issue
What size tub would you use for a fully grown adult, from what Ive seen/been told by others Id be thinking of something along these lines size wise http://www.staples.co.uk/64-litre-st..._Number=358713 http://www.wilko.com/invt/0285472 http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00130129/
Is that any good or not?
What substrate should I use if I want to feed my BPs in their tub? (Using paper towels at the mo)
Should I put a hide in their tub if Im going to be keeping them rack style? Would they feel uncomfortable just in the tub alone without a hide? (I know it depends on the snake) Should I still have a water dish in large enough for the animal to soak in if they so wish? Most tub set ups Ive seen just have a small water dish in
I just want a full run down of how you set up your racks or how I should set it up please
Thank you
