12 month old bredli tub. 5l tub, paper towel substrate, toilet roll hide and bottom of plastic cup for water dish.

This is mine.

I move my snakes into proper enclosures once they're big enough not to escape from between the glass panels.

My bredli was 5 months I think when I moved him in there..Not too sure.

Cheers,
Nick

just a questoin while on this topic but I cold be getting a bredli sooo what kind of lighting do you need if any at all and what kind of heating aswell and i am thinkin of turnig a little sidetable into its enclosure would that be alrite its 55 cm long 51 cm high and 41cm wide is that alrite or not

 

[Liam17]

yeah me to what watt heat cords and mats should i use and also any particular thermostats?

 

[Snakelove]

They don't need lights or uv. There's also people debating about whether or not uv makes their colours brighter but I don't think there's a certain answer to that yet. The little side table is fine for a while. I have a 25 watt heat cord in the upper right hand corner of the enclosure under a tile. Not using it at the moment, but I am using a 75 watt ceramic heat emitter. I use the thermostats from the herp shop. Awesome and no faults.

I was told the same thing about UV by the breeder I bought mine from. However he also said you don't need to bother if you don't want to put one in but they "enjoy" going out in the sun every now and then and that is good enough.
This might be a silly question but can someone explain why Bredlis are considered arboreal since they originate in the desert?

I was under the impression they were found in desert bushland/scrub. Mine spends a great deal of its time off the ground and perches like a GTP every other day

According to wikipedia they inhabit rocky outcrops and from what i have read they also tend to live around rivers and creeks which are normally lined with tree's

Above should have light cages mate.

 

[hornet]

Deff put light cages in, i would not be housing a snake in till you do that, if you have a snake in ther take it out and find a temp home or remove the globes till you have cages

 

[chewbacca]
