When the time comes for my corn to move up to something bigger I am going to use RUBs as, after much thinking, this the best option for me, am intending on 3 snakes and am going to get an open backed book case for them, which will still be nice in my living room, this may not be asthetically pleasing but it will work much better for me and wont cost me as much.

What am wondering is, what do you all use to make the air holes in the RUBs - drill, heated screw driver or soldering iron and with those which melt the plastic how'd you get the plastic of what ever you've used and do you just smooth edges with sand paper?

Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes.

Thats odd, I must be thinking of another Ailsa. I was telling you how I used a hot screwdriver and you asked how to smooth the rough edges down. I said I used sandpaper! :s

the chat is not part of the forum and as such If anyone wants advice the forum is the place to ask for it, not the chat room.

Not a problem. I wont chat about snakes or offer any snake advice in chat.
