Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone can refer me to some good websites that has info on the BBWS? I could search myself, but this is my first snake (I found him)and I figured that you all know way more about them than myself.

Thank you for your time

20 gallon tank minimum. Aspen shavings. Heat lamp to keep the tank at about 80-85 in the basking spot. Large water bowl to allow the whole snake to bask. Some sort of branch over the water to let the snake bask on. Escape proof lid...this is a must. They are great snakes. Still have one I caught years ago. He is the most docile water I have found to date and currently lives in the freshman bio room at the high school.
