Housing my hatchlings

[claireree]

ok as you can see from my picture my bottom viv is housing my hatchlings July 08, I was wondering if the size tubs they are in is ok for the time being, I have decided to keep two of them and was wondering about getting them bigger tubs would the one with the purple lid be too big for them, it currently has my bp hatchlings in. I was thinking of getting a couple of them for the ones I am going to keep they are only a couple of euros in our bizzare shop.

I keep everything in similar sized shoeboxes for the first 6 months. Looks fine as long as the temps, etc. are correct.

Yeah those tubs are fine. Mine stay in large deli cups until they are sold.

As they grow older are they able to crawl up to the bare light bulb in the upper left of the picture?

Those tubs look fine. I've currently got all of my '08s in shoebox tubs.

my older corns are in the same type vivariums and they have both avoided the lights get so far and then just move away they are all low vovltage bulbs mainly just for decoration.

I would seriously consider using some sort of cage over those light bulbs, low voltage or not. I've seen the effect of a corn reaching up to the light and touching it, it was really bad and this was just a 15 watt bulb, the corn had to be euthanised.
