Hello there,



It sounds to me as if you are doing quite well!! Welcome to the BRB addiction and I will steal some of our other forum friends sayings when I say good luck having JUST one brb!!! I myself shrugged off that very warning when I bought my first baby some 4 plus years ago and now I have a 3.4 breeding group!!! They really are spectacular creatures!!!



It sounds to me like you have covered the husbandry nicely. One thing I might mention is that lights can often times dry out the air in the enclosure. If you are supplying the correct UTH like it sounds you are I would say you don't need to really worry about the additional light. If you are using the light for your viewing purposes then by all means use it, but the snake doesn't really need it. Beyond that I would say the quicker you get it into a permanent non-screen topped enclosure the better, but for the time being you should be good to go.



It sounds like you are using spaghnum moss as a substrate and while I think this is fine, many people prefer to use a hidebox filled with spaghnum moss and then either paper towels, newspaper, cypress mulch (what I recommend and prefer) or some other humidity friendly substrate product for the actual ground cover. This is mainly just for ease of cleaning and looks in my opinion. I think all of these ways can work just fine as long as you keep your cages clean!



I myself have finally just gotten all of my BRBs into boaphile animal plastics and repti-racks cages (yes i'm testng all 3 manufacturers to decide what I like best for future orders). I can tell you that all these types of cages hold humidity and heat well and they are well worth the investment!!





Anyay, sorry to ramble. Welcome to the forum! and you MUST post pics ASAP!!!
