any way i can check for mites and i kno they live under the scales other then that id ont kno much but i would like to kno where i can get thos clear things they keep the snakes in there not very big looks like a dresser i think i kno why ppl use that to help with the Temps and stuff right? i mean it is gonna be hard to keep temps right in a 55GL tank

You're talking about a snake rack, those are used to save space. Most of them use many tubs. And yes, with tubs it will be easier to control the temp/humidity. Either way you need to get a much smaller enclosure. A 55 gal is way too big for either of your BPs.

ok i got a clear stand with clear drawers how do i make it a snack rack? i mean how they get air and is it really big rnuff for them to live and move around i dont see how

i dont have 90 days to wait around i kinda need to get him in there if i can they both came from the same place and im pretty sure he dont have anything thing so sould i risk it? i mean i love my babies who dont if i have to waitfor there health i will but id rather not

What do you mean by not having 90 days to wait? This snake needs to be quarantined, and I would suggest treating it with provent-a-mite, along with any new arrivals, first off. Mites are an ugly thing; best to nip them in the bud.
60-90 days of quarantine is just something that comes with the territory.

You mentioned they came from the same place?
What sort of drawers/rack did you get?
You should wait on breeding, and try to keep those apart so as to not pass anything back and forth.

i did i moved the pastel to the living room my Norm is in my bed room il leave my pastel out here for 3 4 months i didnt get any racks yet im trying to find out what to buy i got this plastic shelf thingy i can get some tubs and set the tubs on so i might do that mightbe better but what do you think of him? i mean is it a good buy for what i paid for him or not?

[wolfy-hound]

Again, kind of hard to be sure, but it does look like a pastel, so you got a nice deal.
I don't know what shelf thing you got, or what tubs, so it's hard to say.

what size tub is big enuff for a big female and a male

He looks small. He would do well in a 12 qt or 28 qt tub, and the female you have not mentioned weight or size, so in general, she would do well in a 28 unless she is a monster.

You can order flexwatt and a helix thermostat from reptilebasics.
If you need set up help, there are a few stickies in the caging section with very well shot and written rack set ups.

I agree, worry about your QT first, husbandry, and the health and temperament of both snakes before you try breeding.

There is no rush, read and learn about this years pairings, and follow the threads as the season progresses, you'll learn a thing or two before you start next Nov.

You've had the girl for 2 years with no heat source? Where the heck do you live? The tropics? lol

edit, and yes, the female should do fine in a 28 qt tub. Unless you want something bigger. Up to you.
