New 20 gallon tank setup for my growing ball

[BMorrison]

I run a 50watt infrared 24/7 misted down twice a day with moss. Try that for humidity, does wonders.

[butters!]

ive had no problems with ambient temps in the upper 70's

just mt 2 cents

Well, I am off to get a rheostat and a CHE along with some moss. I ordered two medium sized hide boxes from reptile basics last night so hopefully they get here before the weekend. I'll make a new thread with the new setup when I get it all together.

be sure not to tape your snake.

Switch to a tub. So much easier to keep temps, humidity, and to clean.

Maybe so, but some prefer a viv. looks better to the eye.

I am in the same boat! Althogh I do have a felling my collection will be growing by leaps and bounds here in the near future. Then I WILL have to move to a rack system.

I will probably keep hatch lings in a rack (when i get a female and breed next year) and keep the mom and dad in a viv

Well I got the CHE today and some moss. Foiled the top of the tank and cut a circular hole out where I put the lamp. Hopefully the screen doesn't sag although it is metal so it should be ok. Lamp is on a $10 dimmer from home cheapo. As soon as the hides come in I'm switching them out.





It'll be a few hours before I get the dimmer in a sweet spot but its definitely not too hot. Needs to go up a few more degrees as you can see. Also that foil cover and the moss is keeping the humidity way up so she should be happier now.

Good choice!


Definitely feed in the enclosure like Kaorte has been saying. Your actually more likely to get bitten or cause a regurgitation when feeding in a separate enclosure.
