    Question vivarium...

    hey everyone new to the site so first post, i have kept lizards before but not snakes and i am hoping to get a bp in the next few months but doing the research and stuff first, and waiting to find the right snake too

    my question is, would one of those plastic/sliding glass front pennine vivariums be suitable for a bp? ive never used these before, and can imagine the humidity could get quite high, but wondering, can the proper temps and humidities be maintained in one of these for a bp?

    i found one with heatmat and accessories included for an extrememly cheap price which is why i'm curious...

    thanks so much,
    Jess

    First off, welcome to BP.net!

    Thats great that your doing research because people who dont are not smart lol

    well as for the viv, a baby bp wouldnt be good in a big sliding glass door viv because it might get stressed, so make sure you get the right size. I assume that you can keep the right temps and humidity in one, just experiment for a week or so without the snake. thats what i did and its perfect know

    hope it helps! and anymore questions just ask, i, and everyone else here is happy to help you

    Welcome to the site! You could use a ten gallon aquarium for a good while with a baby BP.

    I think that cage would do just fine. I would put a few tight fitting hides in it though so it would have plenty of small tight spots to hide.
