hi i am still thinking about getting this other snake but just wanted to ask would it be ok to keep it in a wooden box with a glass sliding lid the size is 8" by 12" by 3 1/4 high it is well vented and i can fit 2 hides in it a toilet roll and a small cave hide that i have i also have a small water dish that would fit to. or is this to small?? the snake is about 14 to 15 weeks old and how long can i keep him in it?? i do have a 2 foot viv but need time to sort out room for it first.
thanks guys. |

It will be ok if you get a small heat mat to go inside. I think you can get a 5" by 4" heat mat which would take up nearly half the box. |

theres a thread on here somewhere where someone asked about how people with more than one snake had set them up and some people had posted piccies - lots of those were just in RUB's from tescos or staples.. they can easily live in one of them - we buy the vivs mainly because they look good to us but im thinking that the snake wont really be bothered what his housing is like as long as theres a hot/cool end, water, hides and regular feeding 
you can get a faun 13"x8" (i think its 8") for about £10-£14 and if you go to rymans or staples or any office store you can get RUB's with lids ect for under a 10er which would be fine as long as when they are big enough to stretch around 2 sides their accommodation is upgraded |

My rub is about the same size as the box you want to use so it would be ok sizewise for a hatchling/young juvenile. The only problem I can see is heating it.
You won't get a heatmat in it and if you put one underneath, wood acts as an insulator, so the mat would have to run at quite a high temperature to heat it up enough, and I'd be a little bit worried about the risk of fire.
Couldn't you get a cheap plastic food box? |
