    Re: Extreme newbie wanna-be here....

    First off, Hiya and welcome to the forums. I will answer just a few questions since I am by no means an expert.

    Question:

    1. Er...can't really comment on this since I use tubs. But if I was to go with this, I'd go with the PVC caging. Only because my snake does not like being exposed on all sides and a PVC cage already has three sides blocked out. I hear PVC cages are lighter than glass aquariums so that's a plus for me too.

    2. My BP Alduin was shipped to me using FedEx overnight shipping. He was totally fine but again, this was just my own personal experience. The breeder I got him from was recommended and I did a fair amount of digging and asking a ton of questions. My advise about this is just to research research research the breeder. Check BOI threads on fauna, Facebook, inquire here, etc. Now a reptile expo/show is great way to get up close with possible animals and their breeders. You can examine the animal right then and there before making your desicion.

    4. From what I understand, BPs do not need any additional UV lighting.

    5. The subrate I use is newspaper. Its free for me and simple to clean. This is just my preference but many other people go for shredded aspen or aspen chips. Better for spot cleaning.

    I know others will chime in and hopefully give you more answers. Hope mine helped a little! 😄
