Meet Camo my BP

Good deal.

I use Herpstat thermostats and love them. I have two 1s, a 2, and a 4. All have given me problem free service so far. If you check around you can score a good deal on a used one.

The tstat is your most important thing you can buy so I always suggest buying the best you can afford. I have had two el cheapo tstats before and they failed.

I see one thing with the lights how they are currently set up and have an easy fix. What I started doing was using a red heat bulb for the heat and in another fixture I use a screw in fluorescent bulb for just the visible light during the day. The fluorescent bulb adds no heat and only it will need a timer to operate the hours its on.

I find the red bulbs last longer than day heat bulbs and with a fluorescent light the red light is not seen. This will also let the heat source stay over your hide at all times so the hide does not cool at night. I have come to really like this method.

Thanks for all the advice it's crazy I had my first snake for 12 years and I'm like all this is brand new lol it's just I want more with this one.. And quick question since you live in Houston and I live in galveston do I need a humidifier during the winter? I never used one before but since I am adding so much heat change to the tank do I need to adjust it

Well I don't use a humidifier on my bp tank but I do have a mister. I have live plants so I added the mister as an automatic water system. It really doesn't do much for humidity though as its a 40 gallon tank.

What I do for my humidity issue is add moss to each hide. During a shed I make sure it stays damp. During regular non shed times I make the moss damp and then allow it to dry out before making it damp again. This has helped give me consistent full sheds. If you did that and mist the tank ever so often you should be fine.

I Do mist it I will mist every 3 to 4 days I have only had him 4 days so I will find him out. I was around him before I got him but not like this. So I need to figure him out.hes not stressed or even scared of being handled witch is good. I will do my first feed Saturday and it will be be a live med. so I will figure out his shad pattern and all that and adjust from it.

I should add that I use cypress mulch which is a big help.

Now days I have evolved into using a mix of cypress mulch, eco earth, and repro bark. So far I like it mixed. I like naturalistic cages so it is aesthetically pleasing yet functional.
