I have been lurking around here for about 2 months gathering all the info I can get before I purchase my Albino BP. I managed to find all my answers through this forum without posting up a single question due to ALL the stickies and the search.

The only thing I am having a problem with is the humidity. I have the bowl over the heat pad and a sponge in a tupperware container with holes in it and can only manage 42%-49%. I have placed a larger (wider) bowl in there to see if it helped and it did not. I know the lamp eats the humidity but i need it to keep the ambient temps up. I was thinking about misting daily but not sure if it will over due it.

Let me know what you think of my set up and if there is anything I need to adjust or fix.









I know the tape is a bad idea but I heard scotch tape doesn't do damage like other tapes. I might end up using hot glue.


These are some key items I have bought for my setup:

-Herpstat
-Zoo-Med 30-40 gallon UTH (takes up almost half the bottom of the tub)
-Accurite Thermometer
-Pro Exotics Temp Gun (PE-2)
-CHE Lamp w/dimmer
-Insulation on top and bottom
-Log so he has something to rub up against when he sheds
-1 Gallon of Chlorhexidine 2%


Anyone from Metro Detroit know of any place to get live mice/rats? Let me know! I only know of one and that's Stinger's Exotics in Livionia.

Thanks,
