Hello all, I am an old member who hasn't been on in a long time. I still have the same two BPs, both around 12 years old now. I still have them in glass aquariums with screen tops, and UTHs. I've gotten used to keeping up with humidity and the usual pitfalls of the setup, but a few things have gotten old and I'm looking for other options. My annoyances are that with one kid and one herniated disc later, it's becoming increasingly burdensome to lug the heavy things upstairs into the bathtub for bleaching and a hosedown. I also hate the UTH being stuck to the tank permanently, as the cords always get in the way while cleaning.
I thought about moving them to a tub/rack system, but we do like the see-through nature of the glass and being able to check on them without disturbing them and watch them from time to time even though most of the time they do their best impersonation of a rock
I also worry moving them this many years into their life might stress them out too much. Our big guy doesn't seem phased by anything but our sensitive one was angry for a week when we moved the couch to the other side of the room.
Thoughts? Anyone here have a light(er)weight setup you just love?
