okay, so im getting my BRB baby in july or august or later on  , he's born this month. So i've heard people keep their BRBs in R.U.Bs until a few months old or ready to move on to a glass vivarium (which i have ready) thats all okay, but i was wondering how would you heat a rub?  or can you just plonk the baby straight into the viv?  |

I used a waterfall before for my water dragons and in the summer tiny little flies (midgets/nats etc) laid and bred in the water and i had thousands in my room so i threw it away i used the exo terra brand one i would use a ceramic once your in a viv but you MUST have a bulb guard on it if you do.
my basic setup (non species specific) is
rub setup:
1 mat
1 matstat
substrate
2x hides
water bowl
hydrometer (digital)
thermometer (digital)
moss hide (usually in the second hide and i use sphagnam moss)
viv setup:
1x ceramic bulb (guarded & on a pulseproportional stat)
same as above to be fair except i have a few more hides in the form of cork bark plants etc
for a viv i have the mat to heat at the required ambient temp and the bulb to heat for a "hot end" or basking spot temp
hope this helps :) |

okay will do :) also does anyone recommend a waterfall or a fogger? because when i am at school or on holiday (i go twice a year) it could be very useful do you not think? also what about a ceramic bulb that could come in handy, but then it will cancel out the heatmat which i need for the r.u.b.....VERY CONFUSING someone please shed some light on this for me. |

heat mat for the rub if you put the brb in the viv too early it wont eat due to stress make sure the mat covers about 2 thirds of the rub so he still has a cool end :) |
