Re: need cage/accessories
I know you asked for a tank, but if you wanted to, you could use a tub. I don't know if anyone told you that, but I'm telling you now. ;) Just go to Target or Wal-Mart, get a Sterilite or Rubbermaid tub (size depends on what size snake; if you're getting a baby, the 16 qt. will work as long as you can fit two hides, a waterbowl, and a thermometer), and either drill or solder some holes in. I'd recommend a soldering iron, because if you drill the holes, they leave rough edges and sometimes crack the tub. There's a $10 soldering iron at Wal-Mart in the hardware section.
If you want a tank and know how to set it up to keep the humidity and temperatures right, go ahead; I'm just telling you there's another way besides paying for an expensive tank to house your ball python. Do whatever works best for you and your snake.
Re: need cage/accessories
Thanks! i have my snake in a tub right now, but i really like the tanks, for display purposes also.
I appreciate your advice though.
Re: need cage/accessories
Ohhh you already have the snake. Sorry :P
If you go to a reptile expo, they usually have tanks for cheap.
Re: need cage/accessories
How big is the tank you are looking to get? I have an extra heat mat here that you could have but it would only work on a 20 gallon tank because of the size.
Re: need cage/accessories
I am looking to get a 30 gallon...the 20 gal. heat mat would be fine (i can deal with a little smaller), but idk how much shipping and stuff would be from Conn...at the shop here it is only 25 bucks.
Re: need cage/accessories
$25 for a heat mat?:O
No way. It shouldn't be more than $3-$4.
Heck, PM me your address. You can have it no charge at all.
