| looking lovelly smart bunny...wow didnt realised changed quite that much. Trying to get a rough idea of size for pic. is that a medium/large hide (one of the cave ones where top lifts off) if so the 2 i saw def bigger wouldnt fit in that. ciuld hold in one hand when all curled up but strecthed out would be longer than arm. would have said roughtly 3-4 cm wide it think. not heard back from them will ring tomorow. |

I would say the hide is a medium one, but could be wrong.
Took some photos of my BRBs last night, first up is Indigo who currently weighs approx 600g
These are Ruby who weighs approx 1000g
Getting her to stay in shot is almost impossible

Thanks smart bunny, she is quite a handful these days and can be a little temperamental when extracting from her viv 
I managed to get some shots of Orinoco and Tobago, so for Rubi here are my CRB's
First up is Orinoco
and these are Tobago
It can be difficult to tell them apart these days |

| They are beautiful snakes black cat. I would say the 2 carbs I saw were about the same size as yours mayb a bit smaller they have said )40 deposite just waiting to see how long will hold for as would have to get a stack to move stuff about and that would take time. |

I would say they were far to young to breed successfully
I know my two were born February 2012, so will be 2 years old very soon and I wouldn't even consider breeding until they were 4 at the minimum.
I love them so much, Tobago is due to shed soon and wasn't bothered about being tipped out of his hide to be photographed, were as Ruby my female BRB who is not in shed can be unpredictable. She went to tag me when I got her out for photos but was docile when I got her out to feed last night.
You could always house temporally in large RUBs on a heat mat until you sorted a stack out - I kept mine in RUBs until I moved them into their vivs |

OK then that does sound about right tbh. Hopefully if get them and she is carrying she wouldn't have any health issues. That would be the concern I have. I never thought of Rubs what size would i need for them and where can i get from? how long could they be in a rub for?

Apologies for late reply - I have been with out the internet since last Thursday
RUBs can be obtained from Staples and some people would keep them in them permanently.
At the size they are I would think 64Litre size would be ok and because they like humidity you would not need many ventilation holes. |

I was going mad, spent most of my time with my horses so as I didn't miss the internet too much.
I placed my RUBs ontop of the heat mat, taped the probe of the thermostat to the mat and the temperature probe was inside the RUB above the area the heat mat was located, I also had a combined thermometer/hygrometer probe located in the cool end of the RUB.
I chose to use paper as my substrate but know people who place orchid bark or coco fibre in as substrate. I had two moss hides (one at each end) a large water bowl and had artificial ivy literally just dumped in ontop to act as cover. If I had had more room I would of provided extra hides in the form of upturned plastic tubs that you buy mushrooms in and just cut 'doorways' in them. I was only using 12L Rubs before I moved them into vivs
I had one long heat mat with three RUBs on it - thus only required the one thermostat for three snakes.
Hope this helps |

Thank you for that i will ahve a look into it. I know partner thinking of getting them on the credit card and would e easier to just get the vivs straight away tbh but Rubs may be an easy option for the time being. ill have a chat with him. I think even if dont get this pair will definatly be getting one atleast lol :) |
