YES it’s gorgeous so is Bowie as always Brazilian rainbow boas are my dream snake❤️❤️❤️
I can't wait until my Rainbow Dash is as big as Bowie! She's just a wee baby now, and quite the Houdini. I found her in my bathroom last night, just sitting there staring up at me as I was sitting down on the potty lol. So adorable.
I loved it! She seems so happy!
Carolina Azevedo Thank you!!! 💕💕💕
Yay The cage looks great I love corkboard also Beautiful Beautiful rainbow boa!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bowie has a awesome enclosure now fun to watch you set it up n info.great
Great video, love the new setup! You were also very informative, thank you!
I am planning to build a Brazilian rainbow boa bioactive paludarium. This is a great help for inspiration! Thank you!
Hi,have you done something?
Oooh it's raining. Also nice enclosure! Bowie is beautiful. I have a message rainbow boa, and love him.
It looks so amazing ✨😍
That was so awesome to watch. You did an awesome job with that setup. I know that Bowie is going to roaming around more now. Awesome video and once again, great job. I love it.
Bridgette Perdue Thank you so much!!!! 💕💕💕
That looks AMAZING!!
Taevian's World of Reptiles! Thank you so much!!!!
I knew it. 😊 Love how it turned out.
Natalie's Reptiles Thank you!
Wow i really think you've done a great job and suvh a great boa mom. I'm thinking of getting 1 but ill wait till I've done tons of research first, i have never had a snake before. Kinda daunting cause it's Brazilian and loved himid heat. Keep up the good work.
Good video and beautiful snake. Props for the little dream catcher decorating the tank, it's a cool kinda subtle way to set some ambiance and to express your connection with animals, nature, the universe, whatever... As far as the clean-up crew, don't be afraid to boost those springtail numbers... even with your very respectable spot-cleaning and wanting a clean enclosure in mind :) Always clean out the big poop, mix the rest into the upper level of leaf litter, and let the bugs do the rest :) You really can't have too many springtails IMO though! Especially if you have any live plants in the vivarium, they just seem to help everything "jive" and establish. I am a bit OCD and don't like to leave any poop, even though my soil is SATURATED with springtails and isopods, but the enclosure smells so good from the natural "forest" smell that it makes it hard for me to find any poop haha.
Bowie is going to do great in that enclosure!
At first she wanted to go else were it's nice and this is great I love bioactive set-ups.
Nice job kiddo love it great video thanks
love your channel, I'm about to get my first snake and its going to be a rainbow boa
So cool. I have a question, how often you need to add new moss? also what happens with the old moss, does it need to be scooped out or it will merge with the soil? Thanks
Beautiful boa love the setup
Shane Tillery Thank you so much!!!
@@reptiliangarden You are welcome
New sub, love it, I want a Brazilian Rainbow boa so bad. As far as the light stick industrial Velcro it will stick good.
J35513 Thank you!!! I have still been wondering what to do, so I’ll try that and see if I can order it online. I appreciate the tip and thank you so much for supporting me!! 💕💕💕
its good video.thanks
Great video really helpful😁....quick question Did you mix the eco earth and coco husk or just lay it on the top of the eco earth x
This looks wonderful! Would this kind of setup work well with like a Boa imperator and if not, what would you change?
What a good snake!
That Brazilian Rainbow Boa is so beautiful. It's added to my list of dream animals
Hey. Great informative video. Are Rainbow Boa a bad beginner snake? They are stunningly beautiful snakes. Thank you.
I'm in love
Nice video I'm hoping to get a Brazilian rainbow boa next week. How long do you think before a baby outgrows a 3 x 1.5 ft tank? My ball python goes into the cool end if the humidity is too low, as soon as I start misting the tank he goes back into the warm end. The humidity is higher at the the cool end because as the air cools the relative humidity rises because cool air can't hold as much moisture as warm air.
Thanks for the video, I'm still tryin to get the balls to make a vid on my BRB and its enclosure.
Hope Banba has a good surgery!
So, how do you replace bioactive substrate or will you never need to? Like with the bugs in the substrate you cant just throw it in the garbage or outside or that introduces non native bugs?
Julia Mcshits as long as you keep the substrate moist, they should flourish. I still recommend spot cleaning or adding more isopods and springtails over time. It’ll help keep the substrate fresh and healthy.
So with the bedding and isopods you put in there, do you have to take the bedding out completely or just spot clean
Lela Myrick Hust spot clean! I may add some more clean up crew later on to help keep things extra clean since it’s such a large enclosure
Omg the merch!!
Nitty Gritty 💕💕💕
Would a paludarium setup work for a BRB? Something like a large water grotto they could bath and swim in with paths and climbs up to a terrestrial area? Maybe use a 4x2x2 pvc over a 4x2x2 tank. Just had the notion, was hoping someone might have feedback. Thanks o/
So awesome! I was wondering where you got that enclosure?

Nice! If you are changing out the heating, I would recommend you use either a halogen light or a deep heat projector (or both if needed). Reptiles greatly benefit from infrared b and most importantly infrared a, both of which are emitted from these bulbs. Ceramic heat emitters, radiant heat panels, and heat pads only emit infrared c.
overhead heat can suck out a lot of humidity when BRBs need super high humidity. It's honestly better off if the snake stays with UTHs or RHPs so that they get the humidity they need.
K Ceramic heat emitters are the ones that suck out humidity. Halogens act as a normal lightbulb would act, and don’t affect humidity at all. I’m not sure about deep heat projectors though.
@@user-el6zb5sr2l if they suck humidity, either diminuish the ventilation or increase the water spraying. UTHs and RHPs, also CHEs emit infrared C, a very low energy radiation that only heats the skin surface. That's why impaction is such a huge problem with UTHs users, because they heat nothing but the surface.
@@waterbottle8692 I use DHPs. They do suck humidity out, just not just as much as CHEs.
@@MrJkfixe I'm aware of the benefits of IR-A and IR-B. I use DHPs, I just don't agree they're the best choice for extremely high humidity species.
What temperatures do you use during the day and what do you use at night?
Very nice indeed! Bowie sure will enjoy it 👍🏽 winter, eh? ;-) how long in advance do you film btw and how long does one vid take to make? Would be awesome to have future one were you show your video making routine mb. Also how are you holding up during those crazy times?
Oliver Stein I film little bits when I can. This video was two separate days of filming, then I edited it this morning and put it out! 💕
Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I’m currently looking into bioactive for ball pythons, do you have any tips?
aralyn rivers Thats a great idea! If still recommend spot cleaning for them as well! 💕
What size is your enclosure ? Very nice
What tank size is it and where did you get it
What are the dimension of the enclosure? I'm trying to get a BRB but I'm confused about how much space they need
How do you prevent mold with bioactive and moist bedding?
that’s what the clean up crew takes care of (isopods and springtails)
Where do you get those cute stickers on all your enclosures?
aralyn rivers from nadilyn beatos on Etsy!
If you don’t mind me asking what about a drainage layer in the substrate? (I could be wrong)
Dashing Nova That’s for when you are using live plants!
Great video Tricia, I absolutely love that enclosure! is this one another Zen habitat? sorry if you answered that already...I don't have my full eye site so I was not able to see if it was on the tank or not. Love everything you purchased!! looks fabulous:) I know this is a huge favor to ask, but is there anyway you could do a super, super in depth video about how you kept your humidity up and what you specifically did for your rainbow boa? I want one SO, SO bad but The whole humidity thing freaks me out...I am a huge perfectionist and I will stress out like crazy if I cant get the humidity just right lol. I know you have gone over what you did but is there ANY tips you could give to us who want/need to know?? Love the snake babies! I too have 2 BP, corn snake and a Mexican black king snake and still adding hahahaha!!
Emily
P.S I was also thinking about purchasing a mist king or a monsoon/Fogger for the enclosure if I was to go through with getting a RB:))
ILLUM• LIFE Humidity is a really common source of anxiety for people who keep exotic animals. If and when you do get your snake, try to focus more on providing a good environment for it, rather than chasing exact humidity numbers. Humidity levels fluctuate constantly, and is related to temperature. The fluctuations cause people to panic. So it’s good to have a quality hygrometer, but don’t be surprised if your humidity numbers fluctuate a lot. It happens in nature, too. The danger to chasing humidity numbers is that people tend to restrict ventilation to achieve higher humidity, only to find their animal has come down with respiratory problems. Provide a moist environment, big water dish, and plenty of ventilation.
ILLUM• LIFE Thank you so much, love! This is not a zen habitats enclosure. I got this one from the Chicago reptile house. And I can absolutely do a video on that! 💕💕💕
Calvin Won thank you so much Calvin for this information👍🏻🥰 off subject but I keep a lot of exotic tropical plants in my house and I keep the humidity around 60%. I am big on bio active and providing snakes with the best enclosures that I can get my hands on. I appreciate this so, so much thank you for your input and knowledge❤️
Reptilian Garden awesome Tricia💚🥰 I would love that! You have some of the most legit real information and knowledge on keeping snakes you don’t find that very often here on RUclips. Love it! Hope you and your boyfriend are keeping healthy and well❤️
ILLUM• LIFE I was about to ask what plants you keep, and discovered your channel! What an amazing indoor garden you have!!😍 Just subscribed😁
where did you get the Cage
What is the ambient temp in your room for the brb? I have a 6mo old brb that is on a hunger strike so was wondering your temps. Thanks :)
Kb B It’s usually around 72-75 to
What do you do day to day to maintain such a high humidity for Bowie? And also I thought you didn’t like using eco earth 😅
Charlotte Stickland The pvc really Locks in humidity along with mistings and a large water bowl. And I don’t like Eco earth alone. I had to use it as a base to support the springtails and isopods. That’s why I added a lot of moss and cocohusk on top of it as the majority of substrate in the enclosure. 💕
I’m sry 🖐……THAT KNOCK SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME (it’s like 1 am)
I wouldve ran a heatpad at like 80 ' can really force an animal to warm up though when they dont want to
Where is the best place to purchase a PVC enclosure? I live in Las Vegas so a humid day is 15% here.
John Lawrence I got mine from a local reptile store in Chicago. I’ve heard animal plastics is good online and zen habitats has new Pvc enclosures out too!
How big is your enclosure?
Where did u get her cage from? Animal plastics or somewhere else
Emma From the Chicago reptile house. It wasn’t made by animal plastics
Reptilian Garden ok thank u!
How ur substrate 5 months later
Sorry it took so long to reply, but after I commented about my Fire skink he started to come out more often and seems less afraid
Somber Crow That’s great! 💕
Just tried your coupon code and it didn't work :( tried it a few times too, so not sure what the problem was
Holy Weak Have you used it before?
@@reptiliangarden No I hadn't
I had the same problem 🥺
Same issue.
Why is cork bark important?
Saverio Panaccione It’s a great climbing/ hiding opportunity and it adds enrichment to the enclosure
Reptilian Garden ah I tried it with my blue tongue skink but I kept finding spider eggs under it
So...I love you
I wouldn’t
use anything sticky in her cage if it falls it can rip her skin off if it sticks to her I’ve seen plenty of horror stories about that happening it’s best to use silicone,hot glue etc anything that is sticky isn’t good
Emma Oh man! I definitely don’t want that. Thank you for the tip!
Reptilian Garden ya thought I’d let u know lol I saw a recent one it torn the entire skin of the ball python is was really bad
Nikolai Ninja ya I don’t keep nth sticky in my bp cage don’t wanna risk nth since she likes to climb in stuff
Heat meter
omg im the first view!! ily!!
Awana- Chan I love you too!!! Thank you for being here!!! 💕😘💕
If you love them why do you keep them lock. How can you enjoy having an animal trapped
