    BP set-up? How to clutter?
    I have a terrarium that's about 23 gallons, and I currently have:
    *3 hides
    *2 fake plants
    *large water bowl
    *a cardboard paper towel roll (no paper towels of course)
    I have a baby BP (not quite a year), and I'm looking for suggestions on how to clutter? I've read that this size will work if I make it super crowded with a bunch of stuff.
    Is there anything specific I should put? A climbing branch (will my BP actually use it?), more plants, more hides?
    Any info would be much appreciated. I also have 3 sides of the terrarium covered (all but the front) and 1/3 of the screen top (damp towel to keep humidity in). He's also in a super quiet room that we never go in.

    Is the ink on the newspaper safe?

    Yup. I keep my snakes on it.

    Make sure to ask what he prefers though. I forgot to give my fire the comics one week and he was pretty disgruntled to say the least...

    I've used it without problems in my tubs with all my snakes - I use it as a substrate too with paper towels on top for a "clean" look (well, until someone drops a pile...)

    Okay, I'll add some of that. For the first 2 1/2 weeks I had him, he spent all of his time hiding, which I took as a good sign, but recently he's been roaming almost all of the time, so I moved him to a quiet room and am trying to clutter.

    Thanks. And will do! Wouldn't want him to be upset about missing the comics :D

    Indy often uses her (low to the ground) climbing branch to "bask" at night.. I think it's good for them to have some obstacles/daily stimulation.
