I recently bought a BRB hatchling, a real beauty, everything seems ok but I'm a bit worried about whether I need to change his viv etc. I think he is about 2/3 months old he is approx 20 inches long. I currently have him in an exo terra faunarium thingy that is the 18 x 12 x 8 one. It has a heat mat and theormostat, water, hide and I out in a wet hide with Spagnum as I'm hoping this helps the humidity. I have the heat mat set so its showing temp of approx 80 degrees at the hot end.
The snake has shed and has been eating really well, did refuse a feed last night though.
My question is since I put in the spagnum hide which was when he was shedding, he seems to have decided to live in there permanently, he just does not come out (not that I see while I'm awake!) he may well come out during the night but hes basically become reclusive. Should I take the hide out? I'm not wild about the faunarium and would like to move him to a wooden viv but I'm not sure of the size I could consider as he is such a baby still, this is mainly cos I don't think the temps and humidity are right in the plastic tank, I find it really hard to get the temps etc balanced. Is he too little for a viv?
Also he refused his feed last night is this ok, hes never refused before, it seemed like it was because he didn't want to come out of the moss! He just lies curled up in the very bottom of it all the time.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks :razz:
