    Re: Hi New here with shedding problems...

    Ah i had not thought of jsut lockin him in something! Thats Great!

    Yea the 150 is very hard to keep temps in mainly because its jsut so dang wide! its why I am running 3 hides and 2 water dishes now, but I think I'm jsut going to get him back into his 20 gallon. The 150 was a score for free cause its cracked which after a bit of tape and some creative backing it looks great but its jsut too much open space, surprisingly enough the humidity is pretty constant in it, I jsut can control it, lol. you can mist that sucker all day long and it only goes up a few %. I think I'll swap him out tomorrow.

    Thanks for the quick response! Oh and whats a CB-70? Do they bite? :eek:

    If this is a young bp, then a smaller tub might work well. Evan's advice is right on, and the only thing I would add is to separate the hatchlings. There are no real benefits housing multiple snakes together and plenty of reasons not to (ie disease/parasitic transmission, cannabilism).

    Re: Hi New here with shedding problems...

    Going from that huge glass tank to manage to putting each snake in it's own nice plastic tub is going to make your life so much easier and the snakes so much happier in the long run. You won't get the display properties that a glass tank offers but BP's aren't a great display snake anyways as they tend to be in their hides a lot. Really boring to have friends over and they peer in a tank and see a coil stuffed in the entrance of a hide and that's about it LOL

    You could find a lot of other nice critters that would love that big glass tank I'm sure and for a very reasonable price get Dude and Monty into there own seperate homes.
