IM probaly going to get flamed for this,but a friend of mine let me borrow his rtb for a project,which i explained in a preivious thread.Well that some friend just so happend to take me to a reptile show,where i got a free juvnile rtb.:D

I will probaly get flamed for this,but i couldent pass up a free rtb.I just thought id share,that.He or she is in a 55 gallon.With a infa red bulb on one side and a basking liht on the other.I will post pics.

p,s i got a 95 percent on my project. thank u mfks.
 
you wont get flamed as long as you except the advice given to you even if it means finding the snake a new home or providing a larger or more proper enclosure for it with the proper substrate and other amenities.
 
"yea my friend let me borrow it"...... when actually he bought it at a rep. show or the local pet store and didnt know how to take care of it, and didnt want to look like and idiot.....

so i take it your other constrictor is dead.....time to move on to another one.....

this is getting freakin old and stupid...
 
You say you have two lights on either end? Move them both to the same side, and only have one on at a time; i.e. have the basking light on during the day and the infrared one at night.
 
"Couldn't pass up a free RTB"?

It doesn't matter if a animal cost 1 dollar or 1000 dollars, both need to be taken care of the same. In this case it didn't cost you anything. Now you can use all that money you saved towards building a large cage. Also, try not to make up lies and excuses. Getting out of that habit is a step forward in this industry.

Dude, you havent been flamed. Youre just the most stubborn dude on here and its very frustrating, especially with animals lives in jeopardy.
 
No, no heating mat, for a thick bodied snake such as this it would not be as affective as a basking lamp. Make sure it has a guard on it though.
