Hey peeps,
I have been hanging out in TCS forum for the last 6 months and have now decided its time to own a BRB.
I currently have 2 corn snakes Rusty and Fred and now own a BRB.
I know that BRB's require a lot more attention to detail and i would welcome any first time owner tips.
I have her in a small faurnarium at the mo, she is about 4 months old and about 18inch long. in her faun i got water and moist Wood chippings. i have the Warm side currently at 34-35 degrees c. Humiditiy is at 80%. I have fixed some pics here so you can see!
Also, can someone advise me on morph?
I look forward to your comments!

Thanks people!
Temps have been amended on the care sheets - Original temps were inaccurate and came about from a typo when writing a care sheet in the same template as our other websites, in particular the royal python - Temps were supposed to have been amended and somehow got missed.
Sorry people! I have added a little about heat mats and larger snakes to the care sheets as well.
Cheers,
Lewy |

It's possible, but would be highly unusual. Temp ranges are usually expressed as end values/goals in themselves, not heater settings in pursuit of a different end temp.
Oh right thanks for clearing that up with me.. |

I've read it. While the site's care sheet is excellent overall, that one detail is dead wrong (maybe a leftover typo or such?). Anyway, keeping a Brazilian at those temps is an almost sure-fire way to kill it. I've dealt with most of the big guns in the US Brazilian market, and don't know a single one that uses that high of a temp range.
Do you think that this high temp was said due to us being in the UK and its always cold , as you said your from US and your weather is alot better then over here..  |
