    possibly the dumbest question ever.

    First off I will say I AM NOT PLANNING TO DO THE FOLLOWING!
    Now that's out the way, I'll just bluntly ask it. Can a bp live in a car?

    LOL
    I mean, it's probably possible if you tried hard enough, but I don't think the effort to try and convert a car into a Bp cage would be worth it.

    I made an old square van into my mouse area. :/ it holds my racks and whatnot

    So it WOULD work? Just not advisable? I ask because my friend bought a man cave can and wants to know if he can put his 125 gallon terrarium in there
    With a snake. I told.him he couldn't. It gets 95+ summer. That to me
    Sounds like it'll boil a snake. But he's obviously not going to.do it
    If anyone says it's not possible.

    Since snakes have no thumbs I would not recommend giving one a car.

    If it's done intentionally, I would advise against it.

    However, a friend of mine was moving and was transporting her BP in her car. The snake escaped during the drive and lived in the car for a whole year before it surfaced again. It was perfectly healthy and fine when it was found. Just a little thin.

    It all depends on where the car "lives". If it's going to be in an environment where the interior of the car never rises above 80 degrees or below 75 and he can run electricity in there to power a hot spot and thermostat, then yes, they can.

    Possible yes probable NO.A car could be used if it had the correct controls added to hold the correct ambient temps but the cost and poor efficiency would make it impractical. It would take a lot of money and time to convert a car building a custom snake building would likely be easier and maybe cheaper.
