    Re: tanks vs tubs

    Tanks really aren't that hard to hold in the humidity. You just need to cover 3/4 of the screen with a piece of plexi, and you should be good as long as you mist. Also, try to use a low wattage light so your not sucking the humidity out. Use a low wattage day light bulb, or one of those red heat bulbs. Snakes are nocturnal and some get stressed from lights.

    Another thing you should know about tubs is the ambient temp in the room they are in must be high. I do recall reading some post about people who use tubs/lights but I am not sure. I wouldn't use tubs unless you can keep the room warm. Messing with lights for tubs must be a pain and thats a route I will not venture down. I personally have two racks in my room right now, and I have a space heater to keep the temps up at around 78 degrees. And I personally wouldn't have it any other way. So simple to clean and maintain. Good luck!!
