    Re: Is this a suitable terrarium for a Bp?

    I will warn that when I tried to just use a heat mat for heating, I found that it wasn't enough so I had to continue using my heat lamp on one side (my hotside) while the heating mat kept the tank at a solid ~85° I use the lamp on one side to bump it up ten degrees higher for his hot side

    Re: Is this a suitable terrarium for a Bp?

    How does covering the top create airflow? I'm so confused

There's Calliope too, laying between her skulls behind her water dish.

    That's actually not the same one i posted the link to that one looks like an exoterra I would ditch some of that foil I have been seeing that not enough ventilation can cause respiratory infections and you don't want that..

    Re: Is this a suitable terrarium for a Bp?

    But tye entire top is screen? You can't keep humidity in that.

    Re: Is this a suitable terrarium for a Bp?

    I thought about using the cage w the screened area on the side, but went w exoterra. I was afraid of heat and humidity loss because of that screened side

    I have most of the top of Connors cage covered w foil, except a small area on both ends on the top to allow a little heat to escape and some air flow.. Otherwise I lost heat and humidity. I too use more than a heat mat.. I dont use a bulb though, I use a heat emitter. I couldnt keep humidity steady ever though, not until I got a cool mist humidifier and piped it into cage and then put it on a timer that allows it to cycle on and off 5 times a day to keep humidity steady.

    Same the spray bottle I use is from dollar tree I use the reptisafe conditioner in that water as well as his drinking water because I don't want my little baby coming in any contact with chlorine.
