Hi all,
I'm buying a baby (about 16 inch long by the look of it, but was curled round a branch) Jungle carpet next weekend from the Reptile Room in Cleveleys, Blackpool as it's only down the road.
I have a small aquarium at home approx 14" x 9" x 9", which with three sides covered with wood and a proper top would make a nice viv for my baby snake.
As long at the tank is suitable, which I think it is, then I'll just use that to save cash.
The only other things I will need are a heat mat, water bowl and 2 hides. I think. I have been told that light is not too important as long as there is light in the room.
My concern is how do I get a gradient in such a small viv??? And is a basing spot (light) necessary?
