    Dean,


    What about a tub? Affordable, easy to maintain heat and humidity once set up (your biggest expense will be your thermostat to control your UTH) - lights are not needed, snakes thrive in them.

    If you're interested, I can post a few pictures. You can pick up most of what you need at Walmart, but you'd need to get your flexwatt (UTH) and thermostat online.

    I'd go with a tub. I just started using them about 6 months ago and they are great. :)

    well, if your willing to spend some money here is a neat site that I found. I plan on getting a few of these for my cornsnakes, and eventually when i get my BP I will get one or two of these for them as well. :D

    I agree with the posts on tubs. they're a lot easier to deal with :)
