Enclosure Site

I agree - avoid tape on the inside. I've seen it fall down and can only imagine the horrible consequences. I put the tape on the top outside of the screen - the snake can not come in contact with it.

And I also have to agree that I have never seen any hostility on this forum - unlike many others. When I meet people on some of the other forums I go to I always recommend that they join this on and tell them they'll find nothing but a nice group of people very willing to help anyone out. It's such a relief to have a 'hostility free' forum to go to.

Hey could someone knowledgable clue me in on the precise nature of plastic i.e. rubbermaid containers. I am interested but how do they work? What do you use for a top? And guys, you know royals are from dry regions and don't need much humidity right? 45 - 65 points is perfectly sufficient for balls. But I like the plastic idea, how do you guys have yours set up?

For rubbermaids you just use the top that comes with it, but you have to secure it very well. I've seen some people use bungee cords, S hooks, Spring clamps.....

Here's some ideas:

Also, the humidity where they are from is higher than that. They also spend most of their time in burrows, etc where the humidity would be higher. In captivity humidity during nonshed times of 60% and 70% during shed is great. 45% all the time - very likely to have problem sheds.

This time of year humidity in Ghana, Togo, etc is 80-90%

don't got the cash? i'm rich baby...
