Re: Post your BP setups here!!
Mine are just basic 20L tanks w/locking screen tops, couple hides, UTH, water dish, and aspen substrate, and a rock to help with shedding. I don't use any plants either real or fake, and that is about it!

Re: Post your BP setups here!!
This is my only tank. I've changed her hides since, and taken off the towel, and added a spare accu-rite.

Well on the top of mine I got just (Glad Wrap) only covering half taped down ON TOP with a couple damp paper towels on some of the vents not covered to keep my heat and humidity in away from the light tho. I used a towel at first and then read on one of the online Ebooks that you can use this and it works really good for me

Re: Post your BP setups here!!
Yea I to like the leaves. I thought about adding some fake stuff to mine just don't have a lot of room and don't wanna crowd everything up
LOL needed to edit this after i saw the glove on the shelf below the tank hehe :O :P
-
Re: Post your BP setups here!!
Yeah most of those I don't like, that is why I don't use them, but I really do like the leaves....
-
Re: Post your BP setups here!!
Oh, I use the glove for putting new substrate in the tank. It's easier to grab alot of the cypress with the gloves on.
I got the leaves at Big Lots for $5! There were two strands.

Thanks! I love it too, orange is my favorite color!
When I would have the towel on, I would leave about an inch in the front uncovered. In this picture I have foil under the towel, but since put more foil on there and now I don't need the towel. That, and I mist once a day.

foil helps keep humidity in?

Re: Post your BP setups here!!
My BPs all live in tubs... newspaper bedding, one hide (or none) and a water bowl. Nice and simple! :gj:

I use foil to cover about 3/4 of the lid! You can also use plastic wrap! They will keep the humidity and heat better than a towel. Thats what I find anyways! You need a little opening for air to flow!

Re: Post your BP setups here!!
This is my current setup, but I plan to upgrade and these will become my quarantine condo's :D
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...k/CIMG0346.jpg
Albert is up top in the Rubbermaid, Simon is in the white cage and Roscoe is in the black cage.
And this is Vikki's setup, it's a really nice Marty Made cage that I had sitting around. Since she is in quarantine right now, it is setup in my bedroom, away from everyone else.

Re: Post your BP setups here!!
This is my little set up. I built this eight tub(15 quart) rack using flexwatt heat tape and controlled with a table top dimmer for now. I modded the Acu-Rite thermometer and is working great. And put on the little swinging tub lock (to make the wife happy). This houses my 1.1 Mojave's and my sons 1.0 Anerytheristic Corn Snake (on top in the Marty Made 7 gal. which I will be replacing with a Marty Made 20 gal Slider).
I hope to pick up some more balls soon (0.1 Pinstripe and 0.1 Pastel)! :please:

Thanks for looking!

Re: Post your BP setups here!!
Here's my custom enclosure that I built. I am thinking about building another one, and then stacking it on top of the original one -- I have the itch to get another BP. I'm thinking an albino.
http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...1/IMG_0773.jpg
The cage has a plexiglass bottom instead of wood. I did that so I could use flexwatt for heating. Winters in Minnesota are cold, so I also have a radiant heat panel from Reptile Basics mounted on the ceiling of the right (cool) side. And I have since replaced the newspaper with cypress mulch -- the newspaper was not doing anything to help keep the humidity up.
Later,
George

That nice what type of wood did you use to build that because i thought about doing the same thing and using my tank for fish or something :)

It's mostly oak, the only part that isn't is the front face and the plexiglass frame, which is birch.
Plus, I sealed it with a natural colored finish, and then gave it about 3 or 4 coats with marine (water and rain proof) grade urethane.
Later,
George

Thanks. :) I bought both of the racks, since I'm not handy enough to build them... got the taller/skinnier one second-hand from Skiploder, and he's also selling me his 41qt boaphile sometime soon. Speaking of which, I need to email him back about coming to get it! :oops:

Re: Post your BP setups here!!
Oh, and great setups everyone! :gj: I have a spare 20gal glass tank I'm thinking of using, since it is nice to have one display tank... I'll probably put my corn snake Matilda in there, since she's ALWAYS roaming around her tub. Might as well let her show off, huh?

But thanks again!

Re: Post your BP setups here!!
That was a great tutorial SGB_74! For both glass and plastic setups.
My hats off to you for taking the time to illustrate all of that with such detail. :gj:
