my bp and set up

[missi182]

i have a glass 10 gallon... and found the easiest way to keep humidty up is to use somekinda mulch - cypress of coconut fibers - and cover the entire screen lid with saran wrap - plastic wrap- ... by cutting one hole in the wrap over the hot end and a bigger one it the cool end ... hot air will build up n flow out the hole creating air flow ... start with a relativly small hole - on the cool end - and go bigger to adjust the humidty. leave the hole on the hot smaller .... works for me and it keeps up the humidity at a constant 60%

Oh I would love to have to struggle with just a 10 gallon Just teasing.

veryy nicee set up i like it
hey i got a question...is it cool to keep bp's on woodchips??

[SnM_Man]

no way man ... all the Kool Kids keep theirs on aspen or cypress mulch dude ... only the squares use woodchips !

but seriously ive heard lots of bad things about wood chips ... but it really boils down to what kinda wood it is ... avoid pine and cedar theyre toxic to most reptiles including BPs

[DutchHerp]

Repti-Bark is pretty good I think. I use it and I like the looks of it and I've never had any problems...

NIce set up, looks like a pastel hiding in there.

And lenastorm, Ive seen hemp leaves with 9 and 11 leaves!!

I realize the way your screen is covered is the reason that your humidity is maintained. However, You're going to have to uncover the rest of the right hand side by the CHE to allow air circulation and prevent stagnant air.

I disagree 100%. You don't need any more ventilation then that. the heat coming off of the CHE litterally pushes fresh air into the tank. Your tank covered exactly like it is in the pictures still lets in way more air then the average tub setup with ventilation holes all around.

I have had 7 tanks set up the same exact way (with the entire top foiled and taped with the exception of the CHE hole) for years without issue.

Nice job!!

I really hope you haven't made any changes! Don't understand why some can't leave well enough alone. He has followed the model that a lot of us use, and has perfect results!!!! Why are you recomending he loose the CHE if he has perfect temperature and humidity?

Sorry, just can't stand when someone gets it perfect, and all we can do is confuse them by telling them they need to make changes....

uncover some of the top: You will loose your perfect humidity and probably screw up your perfect temps
Remove the CHE: You will screw up your perfect humidity and WILL loose your perfect temps.
Leave your perfect setup alone: and everyting will stay perfect.
