home made terrarium HELP!

[RichL]

I'd wait and see how the animal responds first. If you have hides there shouldn't be an issue. I had hatchlings that came from 6 qt tubs and put them in 32 qt tubs with one hide and all are fine and eating very well. It's not always so cut and dry.

I agree. I had a juvy in an enclosure just a tad larger than this one. He had plenty of hiding spots and ate just fine. I just went with more 'accepted' advice. It does highly depend on the snake.

@ hut8822 everything sounds good once you get the plywood thing worked out. I wasn't aware of it either, so good to know.

Just a note, I had a 100w Infrared Heat Bulb at one time. It heated up a slightly larger enclosure almost too much. So be sure to put it on a dimmer. Also, it can pull the humidity out of your enclosure like no other. I eventually found a different way to heat my enclosure to keep from battling the humidity at every turn. You may have better luck, but that was my experience with a heat lamp.

Keep it up !
