Hi there everyone!
1st off, I've been reading everything I can on this forum for the past month and 1/2, and this is one great forum/resource. I come from the Aquarium Hobby, and I am venturing into reptiles, with a Ball being my 1st. I currently am waiting for a Female Normal to get up a little bigger (She's only 50g) and I will then pick her up from the breeder.

Some Background Info about my supplies:

-I found a deal and bought a display tank that came from a petstore (locking glass doors, Acrylic everything else. It was originally 48" Long and had a divider in the center to house 2 animals. I cut the whole thing in half and now I have 2! Not a bad deal for 60$.

- I then figured I would save this enclosure for when the snake is an adult.


- I also found a source of paper for the tank. Its Newsprint paper without print on it from an art supply store. 24 x 18 sized sheets (fits my Large enclosure perfectly) and was $2.50 per 40 sheets. Which I don't mind paying so I don't have to store a giant roll!


- I am going to build a small melamine "rack" type deal. (only 1 tier), to accommodate the tubs I plan on using for grow-out.
This is the tub i have now, but i'm going to look for something a little bigger.


- Also pictured there is a Digital Thermometer/Humidty, with probe, that i got fro 9$ on sale. (Has a nice MIN/MAX feature where it logs temp/Humidity)

SO (Finally i get to my point!)... I have been having trouble finding pictures of tubs/tanks setup for hatchlings. Excuse my ignorance if i've missed an obvious thread (I saw the STICKY about glass tanks), but I'm curious as to what the INSIDE of your tubs/ racks/ tank setups. So I can gauge SIZE of HIDE/Water bowl.

Everyone says put 2 hides in there. BUT if i go by the small tub sizes I've read for a hatchling/small snake, I can't imagine fitting 2 hides PLUS a water bowl in there!

Any Info/Advice would be appreciated!

Thank you!
