    Re: Ribbon Snake in Paludarium?

    Ribbons seemed like an ideal snake for a small paludarium for this characteristic. If anyone has other suggestions on snake choice, by all means please let me know.

    Neither the rosy boa, sand boa, or hognose seem to be particularly suited for a paludarium to me... ? I'm interesting in building and maintaining a paludarium that I can put a snake in. I'm not new to snakes in general, I'm simply new to the more aquatic snakes, and am pretty familiar with all of the above but the hognose.

    Thanks for all the advice, I'm finding anything helpful, this project is still in its infancy and I probably won't really work on the tank in earnest until this summer.

    Sorry. It's just before you said you only kept a corn and a BP so I thought you would go in the same direction as those two. Do you enjoy handling your snakes? If you do Ribbonsnakes aren't the most handle-able snakes around (that's why I'm not such a fan of them). That's why I suggested those 3 species. I thought these were one of those snake care info topics, so I didn't understand that you were really looking into getting a Ribbonsnake.

    My snakes:
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa ~Nephthys~ (aka "Linky")

    In a better place:
    1.0 Pastel Western Hognose ~Charon~ 10/3/07-4/24/09

    If you need/want to know anything about Hognose snakes, just ask me.
