| you'd need a heatmat, thermostat, thermometer(s), water bowl, 2 hides, substrate.....pretty much all the same stuff as in a viv except you can use a ceramic/bulb in a viv whereas it's a bit more difficult to do that with a RUB! |

Greg, the reason to make it only a third of the RUB size is so that the snake has a cool side to retreat to.
In addition to the equipment listed above, I would pick up a small bag of sphagnum moss, too. |
