new cage- anyone wanna help me set it up?
so, at work( pet supplies plus) the other day, we got in a All-Glass Aquairum 47 gallon tank, plus stand & flourecent lights( dont need them i think). it was 200$ off, and so i got one, it was $140. i have a few problems tho.
it came with a hood with flourecent lights. but the whole lid is made for fish, not a ball python. i think i should jsut not use the hood at all and make a new lid for it?
the other problem is, it is bow fronted. it has a curve on the front peice of glass. anyone have any suggestions for making a lid for this? i know lids cant be that hard to make, they jsut have to be secure, right?
also, for the fun part.
how should i set it up?, like a floor plan of the cage. the cage ( rufly measured) is 3 feet long, 1 foot wide, and almost 2 feet high. what kind of lighting am i gonna need? will i need more then one heat pad? is there anyway to take heatpads off and switch them to another cage?
any ideas on how many hide boxes? im thinking i want a large enough water dish for him to get in too. i also really like little shelves, or platforms in snake cages? what kinda things could i make?
hahah sorry for so many questions. pick and choose as you please, these are jsut the things on my mind right now about the cage.

You need 2, maybe 3 hides for that big of an enclosure. Like recycling goddess said you need the hides to be identical, and snug. For shelves, have you ever seen the exo terra rock background cages? You can buy a custom background and figure out a way to attach shelves to that..I know there are Heat pads that are not adhesive, just not sure of the name. Do a search on google or on here and you will probably find one.... What size snake are you getting?
