    Display tank for living room

    Hi all,

    Six months back my landlord where I rented my house put the house back on the market and I had to sell all 8 of my snakes and the racks I had going and be out in a month well now I am in a large apartment but do not have the means to heat a room for reptiles. So I am doing one display tank for my living room with my new pied male I picked up. I don't really see many users on here with display tanks for their BP's but what brand/size do you think would be the best for temp/humidity wise and for a adult male BP? He's only 100 grams now and I am not planning to put him in there until he is around the 400 gram mark. Thanks!

    If you're looking for a desplay tank, i'd suggest going with a PVC enclosure like Animal Plastics.

    For an adult bp you could use a 40g breeder tank or just anything 3 by 1 1\2 feet. If you want a display tank that is literally what you will get if you put a bp in it. Make sure the tank looks nice because bp's are terrible display animals.

    I bought a T8 from Animal Plastics a couple of months ago. It's housing something else right now, but the final purpose is a display type tank for one of my BP's.

    Temp, and humidity are easy to maintain. The unit is incredibly easy to put together (I know this because I can actually put it together without any trouble).

    The only issue with AP is their lead times. Mine was a "10 day express" item. It took me almost a month to get everything. I kind of knew the situation with AP going in from reading the forums, and I wasnt in a huge rush, so I was okay with it.

    Even with the long lead, and not always accurate lead times, I will be buying more units from them in the future. I like the units, the service itself is fantastic, and if you know the lead time situation going in, you just have to plan accordingly.

    I'm also looking into a display tank and have been researching quite a bit. The 3 more popular enclosures, from what I have gathered in a recent thread I started, are the Animal Plastics T8, the Constrictors NW, and if you don't want to have to assemble anything the Boaphile 421D. I'm still trying to decide myself

    +1 to Animal PLastics T8.. I have 2 bp in mine right now, it's been treating them worlds better than a glass tank ever did and significantly easier to maintain the proper environment
