Aqua Vivarious
Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Greetings folks, I'm starting to think that a planted terrarium/vivarium is too prone to mold for my Rainbow Boa. the Vivarium is part of a joined aquarium with humidity and heat being shared between them. this puts the humidity easily in the 60-70% range and if I boost it further the plant bases seem to want to mold and I've been reading how that can lead to lung infections in rainbow boas. I'm thinking of moving the Boa to a dedicated tank with no plants, just cypress bark and hides and climbing rope. the vivarium sticks around 75-85 degrees and as I said maintains pretty high humidity. I'm thinking maybe I should just get a critter that likes that environment and can handle plants and is somewhat tolerant to a little bit of mold that invariably comes with such an environment. Do you guys have any suggestions? I was thinking along the lines of Red Eyed Tree frog.
