I have been asked whether I would take on an unwanted baby (approx 8 wks). As it happens I have a spare 3ft viv as my 4 yr old has just moved into her spangly new home.
I'm thinking that a 3ft viv is gonna be too big for a babe so I'm planning to block half of it off.
Assuming you all view this as a satisfactory possibility, where should I set the temp at ? There's not going to be enough space for a hot end and a cool(er) end is there !

In my opinion, provided you can totally pack out the viv with decor for your royal to hide in, then 3ft shouldn't be a problem. After all, how would a royal cope in the wild?
I moved my royal which was about 3 months old straight into this 3ft viv.



If you disagree with me then you could always stick it in a rub until it grows a bit?

Just a big bit of java wood. I just kept going back to the same pet shop that sold it until I found the shape I wanted. Cost about £15.

Don't forget that quarantine is very important when introducing a new snake to your collection.
