    Look what just came in.. first bp
    So I have been a browser on this forum forever and finally joined today since I got my first BP! I learned a lot about BP care from all you guys on here. I got this little male bumblebee from Garrick at Royal Constrictor Designs. I've wanted a Bumblebee morph for the longest time since I got out of breeding colubrids. Just weighed the little guy in at 102 grams and I will not bother him for another week or so after his first feeding. His warm side is at 92 degrees with the probe on the glass above the heat mat and 80 on the cool side. Humidity is at 60%. I blocked off the top of the screen with foil and duck tape to hold humidity better. I am using a dimmer switch I used with my old king snake tank. I am still waiting for my thermostat to come in on Amazon, but today I will get a Accurite and a identical hide to one of the two in the tank. I just tried to reuse some old supplies :oops: Well heres some bad quality pictures I took on my iPhone.

    As soon as I saw the plastic tin and the writing on it I was like "Ooh a Garrick baby!". Congrats on your new addition! He's very pretty.

    Yea Garrick was great to work with and by the looks of this bee he produces very healthy, high quality snakes. I like when breeders take individual photos with weight and hatch dates so I know what I am working with for record keeping. I am a very happy new owner.

    Very nice bee! Only thing I MIGHT change is to leave a small gap on the right side of that tank, just to help airflow. That's what I was always told anyways, someone on here might disagree. But anyways, very gorgeous snake you got! Congrats!

    Not a bad setup man! I LOVE those hides! I know they aren't super cheap or cost effective, but I love how they look and that they have some weight to them.

    Yea i had plastic hides for my adult corn snakes and they would carry them on their back as they moved around in their tubs. Im still in college and working full time so I am not planning on breeding BPs yet, but until i do, I am going to stick with one natural set up for display especally for the snake i always wanted!
