Yeah you can I beileve. Aslong as you got a rub big enough. And heat would come from a heat mat covering a third of the base. Obviously ventilation holes etc. holes high up for heat side and low down for cool side.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong please

Yeah anyone can. Asking as the rub was big enough to take on a water bowl, a hide in hot end and possibly cool end. And obviously the snake it's self. Bearing in mind In time they will get to around 4-5 foot.

Obviously bear in mind when the heat mat is on. Make sure temps are correct and take in to consideration when substrate is put in the temps may drop slightly. So best to get up a whole rub set up with everything except the snake itself.

I keep all of mine in 33ltr rubs and have done for around 3 years now. I only have ventilation holes in the front and have made my own rack out of MDF i also keep the lids on which help to keep the humidity correct even in the winter months when the central heating is working. I use heat mats below the tubs with a pulse stat.

Royals owned "lots"
