    Going from a tank to a rack
    Hello all. I've had my bp for a little over 9 months now. She's been in a 20g tank the whole time. I just purchased a cserpents rack last night, so I'll be moving her over once it gets here. My main question is, should I leave her alone for a week or two just like I did when I first got her so she can settle in? Thanks in advance.

    Sure, he needs to feel safe. But then again, you would be a familiar smell.

    I changed mine from a 40 gallon tank to a CSerpents rack as well. I didn’t wait between feeding or handling. It didn’t show any signs of stress.

    The CSerpent racks look pretty affordable. How is the quality? Is the heat where you can have a warm and cool side?

    I bought mine used locally but in great condition. It has vision 70qt tubs. Mine came with 3 inch heat tape in it which was recessed in the bottom of each shelf. I took the 3 inch out and replaced it with 12 inch tape to raise the ambient temperature since my room stays cold. There is a good gradient from the hot side to the cold side. Humidity is controlled with holes that you can drill or melt into the tubs. I have six holes on the front and six holes in the back of the tubs and humidity stays constant at 55% with paper towels. It will be higher and harder to control if you use substrate. Overall I am happy with the rack. It rolls easily and it’s built well.

    Did you recess the 12" tape?
