Do you have your BP in a tank or tub?

Hi,

Cool - thanks for answering that for me.:)

Just bc the bulb is covered doesnt mean he cant get burned... Im sure the metal casing around the bulb is very hot as well... Chances of the snake getting up there are slim but it could happen. Might want to think about putting some wiring around the whole fixture to keep him off everything.

It's not, I can touch it without any problems, and I am pretty sensible to heat! :)

I have tanks all over my house right now, but have plans to build some stackable cages so I can still view and show off my snakes and have the organization of a rack

No problems with my tank so to speak but who knows what the future holds!

You ought to have included a reptile cage also! I have them in both cage and racks!

Both! hahahah :D

I've got eight in tubs in two racks, three in tubs w/heat on shelving, and two in tanks.....when I got the four adoptees, I got the tubs they came in, but no UTHs. I had to get creative on the homing and arranging so they'd all have the right kind of heat and a hotspot.:weirdface

BOTH. My Kenyan, 2 balls, one corn and the LTR are in tanks. Petey, the RTB is in an acrylic 65g hexagonal in the study, b/c it wouldn't fit thru the door. He doesn't mind what little traffic there is, it's at 81/94 at all times and he's a gobbling machine. :D

I have a Snake Shack (rack) and bought a homemade rack that has some of the snakes, and the rest are in tubs sitting on a set of plastic shelves. My picky eaters (Freddie, George, Houdini), the male balls are all in tubs with hides, in the temp controlled room, with hot spots, and still haven't eaten. Humidity's still 55% with a boost at shedding, but Freddie was picky that way last winter, too. As for George and Houdini not eating, this is the first winter I've owned them, so I'm tweaking the husbandry to see if that will help.

I'm HOPING to use my tax refund to get some cages and put out in the den, and move all the RTBs out. That will give them all much more room, and will free up the tubs. (Moooore snakes! Yippeeee!!) :D :D :D :banana: :pinkele:

Sorry for the repeat!:oops::oops::oops:

Wow, I voted and evened things up!
