    need cage/accessories
    I was wondering if anybody had a tank for sale. I also would need to get everything for the tank, Heater, thermostat, etc.
    So if anybody has any of this for sale, it would be greatly appreciated if you could contact me!
    thank you!

    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.

    I appreciate your advice though.

    Ohhh you already have the snake. Sorry :P

    If you go to a reptile expo, they usually have tanks for cheap.

    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.

    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.

    $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.
