    what would work
    Hello I'm interested in finding something that would live well in a 36Lx28Dx18H Vision tank with Extra Vent?

    Well, LOTS of things would work well in there. What are you looking for? Another snake? Colubrid, python or boa? Or a lizard of some sort?

    Re: what would work
    well im taking my bp out of it and using a tub with him he is such an pain. So im looking something that don't take rabbits and will take f/t pretty easy and i don't wanna get into dealing with crickets and stuff again. So im at a loss of what would work in that catagory. I'll never have another bp they are so pissy with feeding.Thanks Aaron I would love to have a monitor but they are to much right now with the baby on the way and they eat way to much crickets.

    Maybe a Corn Snake. I got two and they are very aggressive feeders. They both switched from f/t to live right away. Maybe I just got lucky though.

    Re: what would work
    why would you switch from f/t to live it should be the other way around? Or maybe you ment to type that either way corns are cool but the cage is little to much for a corn. What else would be good?

    how hard is it to keep Uros and what do they eat?

    Uros need more space than you got I think. They are strictly vegatarians, maybe with the odd crik or grub thrown in there. They need very high temps and require NO humidity. I really like mine a lot.

    there are at least 20 snakes that I can think of off the top of my head that can be housed in that enclosure....I know you have asked about alot of animals before, so what do you like?.....pythons? boas? price range?....you need to give a little input ;)

    here are a few to ponder....BRB, Hogg Island boa, Angolan, Carpet python, Super Dwarf Retic, coachwhip, racer, blood python, short-tail python...

    Re: what would work
    Well it's to small for a BCI and Im not sure about any of the python species other than a bp and a jcp that would work well, So im kinda left with getting either king,corn,or gopher right? Because if i get another beardie that would mean more mealworms then i have to get for my adult, plus beardies like to see out and the vision tank wouldn't let that happen. So im kinda stuck with getting a smaller snake right? Plus with the sliding doors it's slinder snakes could get out between them right?

    Re: what would work
    ....that enclosure is not too small for some BCI....the island or mexican localities tend to stay smaller than columbians....I have seen adult niguraguans(sp?) that are no bigger than an adult bp....

    Re: what would work
    ok but i have heard that mexicans are kinda aggresive than a common. How much do they cost? Im thinking more on the lines of a JCP what do you suggest.

    Ok im having a hard time with taking my Caa my bp out of his cage tha he's been in since i got him. But i've had trouble with feeding him since i got him and buddy told me to put him in a 30qt tub instead of the Vision. The problems that i have had is sheds are really crappy even misting the cage down 2-3 times a day and the temps i guess because the temps are mid 70s on the cool side and the warm side where the Heat Spout is 90-100. I just hate taking him out of this Vision tank any suggestions

    put the ball in a smaller setup, a male bci,bcc could do well in that cage. buy the snake you want and get the setup that is proper for them!:2cent:

    Re: what would work
    I completely agree with Vaughn. Don't buy a snake or anything else just to fill an empty enclosure or to suit some tank or other. These are living creatures with long lives and they deserve owners with a deep, long term interest in them. It sounds like you are having ongoing issues with feeding and handling issues with other creatures and with a baby due, I'd personally say tuck that enclosure away for now and just focus on what you currently have...but that's just my opinion. :)

    Re: what would work
    Well im going to just stay with what I have for right now and like most of u said just see how things go with the bp in the smaller enclosure *tub* i just think that the Vision is to big for the shy bp that i have. Im just hoping that he will do better in the 30qt. tub.

    Good move! BP's tend to thrive better in smaller, darker environments :sweeet:

    Nope, no problems at all :) Make sure you provide two tight fitting hides on either end and a water bowl and the proper temps/humidity and you should have one happy BP in no time :D
