    15 quart tub set up?
    Anyone have pictures on hand of what their 15 quart tub set up's look like? I got some advice that because of the size of my bp, I should down grade to a 15 quart for now to take the stress off of him.

    I don't have any pics on hand, but I set up my 15's just like I do 6 and 32 quarts...paper towel substrate, water dish on the cool end, hide box if desired(I don't use them for most of my snakes).

    Yeah, the way I'll be keeping to the tub at the moment I'll have to put a hide in. I've found a nice snug hide for him in recent hours that he seems to really like, so I'm going to carry that over.

    I just worry that he'll choose security over thermo-regulation.

    As long as you put in several, appropriately sized hides and things to fill in the space, whatever size you have should be good to go.

    In the wild the snake finds a tight spot, and the enclosure is the size of Africa. So I would get a few hides that the snake just fits in to and get bigger ones as you go. Of course ensuring they are spread over the heat gradient.

    I like the RB ones and bought a couple of each size to move up the size as he/she grows.

    Just my opinion on the enclosure size issue.

    Yeah, I'm looking into buying a small medium and large sized hides so I can just move up when necessary.

    Here is my temporary set up while waiting for my rack. Has RB small hides and some cork to shed with. He is in shed so I misted it earlier.
