i have my brb in a aquarium with a screen top. it is 98% covered to keep the humidity in but it eventually leaves the tank quite fast.

what do you keep your in. i keep hearing about vision cages? do they keep the humidity in well. if they do what size is good for an adult size brb?

any help woul;d be appreciated. thanks

The best type of enclousure for me would be one that is very secure, easy to clean, durable, easy to heat, and large enough. I just bought another 36 x 24 x 12 plastic cage because the first one was just what I wanted. Any cage will hold humidity if it has very little ventilation, I think the Vision's have a fairly large screen insert or 2 that would probably need to be covered with a peice of plexi-glass or something. If you're using an UTH you should make sure they would work with Vision's....they are pretty thick.

Steve,
...I keep most of my adult BRBs two to a cage in 36 inch Vision cages. If I was starting over I would go with 48 inch cages. Vision cages like most other commercially available cages have large ventilation screens. I used duct tape to cover the outside of all the vents. These cages have sliding glass doors and there is a small gap between the glass doors which provides plenty of ventilation for BRBs. These cages are durable and easy to clean. I heat them with flexwatt under th cages with the cages stacked 4 cages high. The disadvantage to these cages is that there is a hiden area above and below the rails for the doors where small and medium snakes can hide from view. If you want a display cage you might want to select a cage that has total view in from the front.
Good luck,
Jeff
