Hi all

A couple of noob questions as I only have corns at the moment and want to get things right for the two royals that will be joining the collection in the next month!

Both snakes are under a year at ~5months (~150g) and 8-9months (~300g), And I have been advised by the local reptile shop to start them both in 9L Rubs with large 5 inch dog water bowls to keep up the humidity? Does that sound about right? I have a 5L and a 12L rub on standby too if they are needed.

I intend to have them both on heat mats under the rubs with a high end pulse stats and inside monitored by a digi thermometer, keeping the hot end at 32C.

I am going to keep them both on paper towel to start so any problems are visible and keep them isolated from the corns for the first month.

Any comments welcome!

Thanks

Cheers Kelfezond!

I was thinking 12 L for the larger of the two so maybe I will go with that and see how we go!

Everything sounds perfect there, only thing I would say is I currently have 7 hatchlings between 50g and 150g and all are housed in 12L rubs, all feeding and shedding fine :)
