Thanks for the warm welcome. Sorry no pics of the enclosure yet (another thing to add to the "Buy for the new Snake" List....cheap digital cam LOL)...we are looking at a number of Rubbermaid bins as it seems on the forums that's the way to go for the best humidity/temp control...the one we are most impressed with is about 36 x 24 x 8 (approx)...it has a lid with snap locks at both ends and opens with a hinged middle (so you can open either end of the bin without taking the whole lid off (Walmart $15.00 what a deal!)...air holes melted out with a soldering iron....we will use two terracotta pots with holes drilled out for cool and warm hides....cypress for substrate...heavy low bowl for fresh water....under tank heat (rather than basking lamp type thing)....we found a great deal online for temperature probe but are still looking for humidity testing ideas.....any suggestions that way? As soon as we have a definite date to pick up the snake we will set it all up in advance to get the heat and humidity stabilized for a few days before....does this sound sufficient for a 18 month old BP...we are waiting for pics of her/him but have been told the snake is around 24" long...unsure of weight at this point (sorry for this long post LOL)
