White oak is much more rot resistant than red oak or maple. Whiskey barrels are made from white oak. Pine will rot way before w oak. The key is to allow it to dry out and never stay wet. Poplar is not a good choice.
I don't know what species of wood are available to you but, white oak, black locust, teak, ipe are all very rot resistant woods that would take on the elements better. Spar urethane is an outdoor urethane that protects well but requires several days to dry. I don't think polyacryl will hold up...
Price drop
Before I post on Fauna or kingsnake I would like to offer these to you all at a discounted price. I will take 300 for the larger males and 250 for the smaller male. I have a few adult and sub adult females that I would be willing to package with these males if interested. I need...
I have 2 sub-adult male true blue Nosy Be males for sale. I actually want to sale just one, I like them both and will keep the one that does not sale. They are from a great blood line (Super Blue, Chameleon Paradise) is the grandfather and I have attached a photo of dad (my retired breeder)...
Yes, leave the bin in there and she will most likely dig again, I have one doing the same thing as we speak. I have sometimes tried different container shapes and sizes with picky females. Good luck.

If someone is willing to look through the forum and read all that is available, then this is a great tool. To those that find the first thread and do what it sais with no other research, then this forum may not be the best place. I don't know where else you would go for help. Most reputable...
What is the benefit of r/o water? I have used tap water for years with no ill effects. Why go through so much trouble when you can just set the water out for a day and all the chlorine will be gone. Nozzles can be soaked in vinegar if they have lime build up. Sorry, didn't mean to interject...
I have 3 right now that have pipped their eggs and then sat and absorbed the yolk for about 2.5-3 days. You will do more harm than good if you try to remove them.
I have a collection of Brazilian Rainbow boas that I have reluctantly decided to sale. It is a group of 3.6. 2 of the females are due in july and 1 is looking pregnant but not sure yet (she is in blue right now). Local pick up would be best. I want to sale the whole group for $3000. This is...
