    Beautiful snake and set up.

    But I hope you don't mind some constructive criticsm.

    You need a better thermometer/hygrometer, as the analog ones are innacurate and unreliable.http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...7GT&lpage=none

    You also might want to make the hides a little more cramped for the snake because they like to be squeezed into a small spot.

    Re: my first time posting a pic

    Is that a 10gl aquarium? I'm not saying your setup is wrong or anything but I would either put him in a 20gl or a tub. Tub being the better choice for the overall factor that temp/hum are easy to control. 20gl being second best imo because it's easier to make a warm and cool side with more of a gradient temp as apposed to a 10gl and yet harder to keep humidity as apposed to a tub. And it seems like you will need another hide on the far left side. Just my .

    EDIT: always beat me to it! Oh nice point Shaun forget about the acu-rite (diggy) suggestion.

    Re: my first time posting a pic

    What a pretty little snake!! And "Stealth" is such a perfect name!


    The setup looks pretty nice, but I'd tweak a couple of things: He needs smaller hides...they like them really small and tight so they can cram their bodies in and feel "hugged" on all sides and from above, if possible.

    Also, the little stick-on dials tend to be very inaccurate and are no help whatsoever in keeping a BP's environment optimal. I'd ditch those and get yourself a digital "indoor/outdoor" thermometer that also measures humidity. ($12 Acu-Rite from Walmart fits the bill nicely, but you can find others, too.)

    I think the size of the tank looks perfect. A gradient can be kept just fine in a 10gal if its done right.

    i hope you guys dont thin that pot is the only hide the tree is pretty cramped thats his favorite spot. I also have a digital thermometer that i use on all my pets, those are just for those times that im to lazy to put in the thermometer. But keep the critisism coming im loving it ( the pretty snake comments arent bad either )

    Just wondering ( nothing wrong with a ten gallon) ia that a ten gallon? It looks kind of tall, like a weird aquarium dimension.
