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  |

| To avoid scratchy bits its better to melt the holes using a soldering iron or failing that get an oven glove on and heat up a thick knitting needle or a similar pointy object using a blow torch or gas hob. Just avoid setting fire to the box, the glove, yourself or the house. Failing that use a drill and make sure to cut off any scratchy bits. |

I just use a drill, very easy, then just rub over quickly with rough grade sand paper.
By the way rubs are much easier to keep clean and talking to any expert you`ll always be told that Royals will do much bettter in them than vivs. Am not home at the moment but will post pictures of my setup later. |

I get a large screwdriver, stick it in the gas fire or on a gas ring. Melts holes like a dream, no rough edges. |

Now there's an idea. I could do that easy and save a few pennies rather than buy a soldering iron. Cheers.
Pics would be great, cheers Hodgie.

That looks fantastic. I didn't think a rub would look that good if im honest but that is very pleasing to the eye indeed! |

I will put the heat mat under the rub the same way I do with my King snakes rub. The mat will also have a thermostat attached. |

There's no need for a ceramic light for a RUB set-up. |
