My guess is the humidity alone... might be some young aggression too...

ok. lol... yeah figures, they like to make it difficult. You should try getting a shallow water dish and put a hide over it. I saw a guy on youtube did that and his BRB used it.

yes i plan on getting a hide to put over the water dish. I saw that. He is a little nippy whenever i reach in to take him out the tank but once i pick him up he's perfect. Very calm

Nice... haha yeah... He should tame down a bit once he gets used to handling, and gets bigger. Nice snake tho.... I want a BRB :oops: (and some other stuff) i cant get anything at the moment though... :(

God I really want one of these...any advice on easy to sanitize perches?


Also whats the best way to maintain there temps...Ummm 85 basking 75 ambient right?


One last question, do they feed f/t well?

i use jungle vine for now, i just use a zoo-med uth, & infared heat bulb, the substrate, misting & damp towels hold the humidity. the guy at the reptile gave me a free mouse with the snake so i only fed him live. i'll try f/t this weekend & see if he takes it. the breeder has been feeding live :snake:

Oooh I see, I never honestly used a heat lamp before. It's hard to fit one on a neodesha cage. I'd need to get something with a flexible neck. Or maybe 2 uth.
