Bredli Help

[bracey91]

Hey guys, Looking into getting my first snake soon, and Ive got my eyes on a Bredli. They are beautiful looking snakes and have heard quite a few good things about them.

I am going to start out with a click clack, but I was wondering at what age you usually move a snake into a reasonably sized enclosure, because at the moment I have enough money for a snake and the little click clack set up, but will take me a few months to save up for an enclosure.

Thanks, Josh

I had mine in a click clack, but last month moved him into a 1m x 1m. He is about 7 months old

I kept my bredli in a click clack for around 18mths, just got bigger containers as he grew. Been in a 3ft enclosure now for 2 years.

good choice for a first snake, i got a pair for my first, generally very placid,mine are awesome to handle.and you will rarely hear bredli's having feeding problems, they are gluttons. i got a jungle for my second, he's beautiful but a real fussy eater and mean tempered at times.
and a click clack will be sufficient til you can afford a bigger enclosure. all the best and get some pics up once you get one.

my childreni is just bout a year old and still in a tub (that is placed in it's enclosure) ... im thinking of letting him out into the enclosure on his bday .... sept 20th

make sure u have a heat mat, hide, water bowl and thermometer in the click clack if it's not placed in an enclosure....and use paper towels as substrate...

pics soon then yea??

It all depends on how big the little snake gets, I'd say put him in a clickclack until he looks too big for it, and then put him in an enclosure.

I have never used them, all my hatchies have started out in a 60x30x30cm tank, only because it was gvien to me. I'm sure it's possible to upsize the click clack as the snake becomes bigger as a cheap form of housing, some people keep snakes in tubs/racks but thats another thread

Fantastic choice of snake for so many reasons (but I may be biased).

 

[bracey91]

Yeah, they do look like beautiful snakes!
I plan to move him into a wooden enclosure when he is big enough, just going to start out in a Click-Clack, Ive looked at the "guide to building a click-clack" thread, looks simple enough. Just wondering what size is recommended for a young Bredli, also Will getting a heat mat and thermostat be a problem? is their certain wattages or anything?


Thanks
