I have seen a drip type system with a ball valve. Works well as there is no mess and a constant fresh supply.
Check with African Reptiles and Venom for details, that's where I saw it.
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it’ll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it’s not even funny.

Hi,

I just happened to be watching this yesterday

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7TJNa4CWPXI

Reckon it will at least give a good starting point even if the exact components arent available in this country, always end up hating these American guys for what is available to them in terms of racking systems etc etc ;)

P.s. I see this is the mobile version of the link to the video, if for some reason it doesn't work on a desktop just type "JKR Pro tips #6" in the search function of youtube.

That looks great, I can get everything there except those nipples, can anyone tell me where I could get nipples or something like that.

I know of a guy who has them but they are imports. They aren't common here in SA
