Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey i hope i get welcomed into this "hots society" with a warm welcome and not a harsh reprecution. i just purchsed a copperhead and i am trying to find a great website to point me in a good direction the first time. As this is my first hot i want to do it all right. i have found several websites but the give me a run around on temps substrate cageing requirements heat and all the other goodies, But i will tell what i have as of know. I have a 29 gallon glass aqurium, i have a basking spot of 87, and it fades out into 73 on the cool side. I keep it about 73 degres at night, I have a water dish in there along with a hiding spots, and i have him on repti bark. I was also wondering about putting a water fall in with him is this a good idea? i will appreciate any help i may get.he is only about 6 inches or so,,,,,,,,,, i would like some good solid info on requirments as adults also(cages,etc.) Thanks in advance rob

As I'm from europe I don't understand sh!t about the sizes ant temperatures you gave for your snake, i'll let those to the americans

Did you get the right tools? Long (and I mean LONG) tweezers, tongs and hooks?

Bye,

Peter
