    please help asap
    hi guys and girls,
    i am looking at buying a male bp. i already have a female and she is in a 4x2x2ft viv. i know males are considerably smaller and wondered if this (http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/rept...ch-334914.html) would be big enough for him. space is an issue in my house but i have no concerns when it comes to the wellbeing of my snake(s) and if needed i will buy a bigger one but he would have to be moved upstairs. please help as he is here next friday and the viv is the last bit of kit i need,
    thanks in advance :)

    thanks for the reply mate. yeah, have one already up and running with my female. 2 hides, plants to hide under and branches to climb on etc. temps are running fine and humidity is bang on, have to mist during sheds but shes very happy. was just unsure on the size for a male, i dont want to go too small. i know they hide up most of the time but my female is out and about several times a day having a drink and a climb and what not

    i will get around to posting pictures and will look forward to hearing feedback as she is my first snake but done my research and made sure everything was right before moving her in and want the same level of care for my male

    ill see if i can pull some from facebook. i do have one more question though. the male i am getting is a bumblebee, does the temperament change with different morphs? my alpha female is a sweetheart and can have her out for hours on end and even trust her with my 5 year niece with no bother at all

    All morphs are the same. Only individual snakes vary in temperament. But most are calm anyway. Do you know about the spider wobble?

    Spider wobble is a genetic defect to all Spider gene snakes, Its really nothing to worry about unless its a TRAIN reck in which it wouldnt be sold usually, i have a few, and its rarely bad unless they miss strike there food, i find they get frusterated and they wobble a little bit. You'll be able to tell during handling "as its stressfull" and you can see how bad/good his wobble is. It will look like hes corkscrewing his dead in the air
