Hello and welcome to the forum , Congratz on the new arrival for Friday.
9months old really  My two BRB's are about 9months old  .
To maintain humidity - if you can get hold of a water bottle sprayer that will help you alot and then all you have to do is mist the RUB and increase the humidity or you could buy a Fogging machine but they cost a little more then a cheap water spray bottle.
Look forward to pictures  .
P.s I noticed you said your getting your BRB on friday but on another thread you have said Saturday?? .
Is there anything else you need help with I'm open to any questions you have and will try to help you out. |

Welcome
Have mentioned this on another thread but going to add this here so that you will read it, is not a good first day for you, respect other members on here and don't reply to threads without engaging your brain.
This is a small friendly forum, something worth bearing in mind.

RaverBaby, welcome to the forum.
I missed whatever went on this weekend. However, to answer your question:
Humidity is *essential* to keeping these snakes alive in the long term. There are several tools that will facilitate this. The first is choosing an enclosure that limits air exchange with the outside world, as otherwise all the humidity you so carefully build inside the viv will just seep away into the room. If you choose a viv with a screen top, this is where modifications like an acrylic sheet come in. The second is placing moisture sources inside the enclosure. The basics are a large, flat water bowl placed over a heat source (the size maximizes surface area, and the heat promotes evaporation) and a moist hide (a hide packed with damp moss, which the snake can use as a fallback if the general viv gets too dry). Many people supplement this with a moisture-retaining substrate and occasional spritzing (which could also come from a misting system, if you have the money for one).
I hope this helps, and wish you and your new arrival the best-- |
