I'm new to the brb world, and wanted to ask a couple of questions. My brb is two months old, and he never leaves his box. Well, if he does, we've never seen it. The guy working the table I bought him from, told me about the high humidity they require, and told me an easy fix was to get a tupperware container, fill it will moss and cut holes in it. He told me the snake would go in as he felt he needed. Well, he never leaves it, unless we remove him. Which usually leads to a ticked off snake when you're pulling out moss to find him. Is it normal at this age for them to constantly hide?



Also, my husband had an idea to raise the humidity in the entire tank. Our experience is with snakes is those not needing as high of humidity, so I'll ask people who know. He said, why not cover the bottom of the tank in moss? He's currently in a ten gallon aquarium, though it is not his permanent home. I was concerned about him constantly laying in wet moss, but it occurred to me when I said it, that's all he does anyway, staying in the tupperware container filled with damp moss.



Also, he's in shed right now, his first one since I bought him. Do brb shed pretty well? A few of our balls are horrible shedders sometimes, usually requiring a soak, while our jungle carpet and redtail shed fine.
