| Hey guys just wanted a bit of advice, about when should I move my young royals to vivs from their rubs. They're both about a year old, and are touching the 200g mark. I eventually want to house them both in 3 foot vivs. Just not sure when to do it as I don't want to stress them out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

| Well! It depends on the snake really, though Duke is about as shy as they come and he does just fine in a 3X2 that is stuffed full of log and foliage. In my opinion though if they have a nice hide to snuggle up in with a bit of foliage shielding the door then they could happily live in a football stadium. |

Yup, I switched Shahi from rub to viv when he was quite young and he seemed to thrive. I hardly saw him, mind, in all the cover, but he liked it and that was the main point.
With my royals, I like to use hides that are closed all the way round,except for an entrance hole - and I place them with the entrance facing away from the viv windows so that the snake can feel doubly secure.
Hope the transition goes ok. |

| Ok guys thanks :). They're both pretty active and inquisitive so I think they'll be ok. So in a few weeks theyll have a nice double 3x2 viv all decked out with hides plants and branches. Will let you know how it goes |

| I follow 1 simple rule with mine (although like as been said it depends on the snake), i go with the length of the snake = the width of the rub/viv, although i put george in his 3ft viv when he was only 2.5 feet and he was fine |
