    New Setup

    Welp, I’ve finally been home long enough to get my RB “home” all set up. Gonna let it “adjust” from now until April 7th, which is when we’ll head to the local reptile expo. Hope to purchase our next baby, which will be a BEL. <fingers crossed>

    I have that same log in my bp enclosure! Personally I really like how it looks and it literally took me about a minute to block the holes. I stuffed it with paper towels then moss and I’ve never had any issues. That’s a nice sized enclosure for a bp

    Hmmm, smart. Clearly I wasn't thinking that easy, lol.

    When I've used similar driftwood with holes that needed plugging, I've used corks (glue in place w/ silicone aquarium sealant) because the color is much the same,
    so it still natural-looking. I'd worry about using paper or moss that the snake just might push out.

    It’s really packed in there there’s no way a snake is getting it out.

    Thanks! Yea, I'm gonna work on getting everything just right before the deadline. My Firefly BP is in a "glass box", for now. Will be upgrading his home after the expo.

    Good thing we like to drink. lol I have a couple hundred corks to choose from. Also have some aquarium sealant since I like to glue my live coral in place in the 150. Thanks for the insight!
