I'm really considering usuing rubs rather than faunariums for my royal(s) when I get them. How do you make the air holes? Do you have any tips or instructions for an idea rub setup.
I wondered if people could post pics of their Royal setups if they use rubs or direct me to a thread if there already is one.
Thank you peeps  |

I've just gotta say Anatess I'm very impressed with your RUB setup, it is superb and is exactly how I want to do my RUBs for my corn when the time comes and for my other snakes when I get them. |

Hi Louise,
If you use a drill to make the holes you can then use a countersink bit to de-burr them. Worked for me. |

you can fit bulb guards and bulbs in an lx, i have them in an lx36 and it looks fine and there is still enough room |

Thanks guys, you may have solved my problem! Maybe I can have another corn and a Royal after all!
I have two vivexotic lx48 vivs but they can stack 3 high so I was going to get another for a royal but they aren't really tall enough for heat lamps and I couldnt get the bigger viv because of the weight of it on top of the other two! Anyway now I'll be able to get another lx48 for a corn and have a rub somewhere else for a royal |

like blackskull said, royals should not really come into direct contact with heat mats, as it causes thermal blocking. also you cant really use a bulb in a rub as it will melt the plastic  |

Thanks 
when you say lamps do you mean heat lamps?
you use heat lamps in vivs because you shouldn't use heat mats inside vivs where the royal can come into contact with it in case it causes thermol blocking then you risk burning the snake. where as if you keep your royal in a rub the rub sits above a heat mat so the snake will never come into contact with the mat |

I got that idea from this guy on rfuk who has a rub set-up for his green tree pythons. It was so cool I copied the concept. Unforunately, I couldn't find the pictures anymore...

i agree it is very creative, i would never have thought about putting plexiglass on the front of a rub to make it look like a viv |
