New and excited!

I'm really thankful for the replies and asee for modding the cafeelings I could prolly do some things. The other option would be just to get a 32 or 41 quart tub for now ( I believe those are the right sizes..if not please correct me). Here is a pic, not the greatest bit what I have from them and I'm not sure how thick the melamine is.

At 500 grams a 32 qt tub would work great! Congrats on your new snabie!

Thanks guys! He is actually heavier than 500 grams, I had that wrong in the first post.. he is more around 2000 grams and 3 years old. I am actually thinking of two options.. just get a tub (researching proper size) and putting a heat mat under it and all that.. or use heat tape and slate tiles/glass inside the tank.. still not sure.. but stilll have a few more days to decide.

That's a big three year old. Maybe it's a female? I have an adopted snaked that I want to have someone sex.

It is definitely male.. and I'm not 100% on weight.. they said that he is around that, could be less than that. He just ate so they can't weigh him right now for me. Anyone have suggestions on the heating of the melamine cage? I really don't want to get a RHP right now

Alright so after a lot of reading and just thinking over this situation I have come to the conclusion I am just not happy with the melamine cage, so I am going to get go with a tub. Most likely going to do the 41 quart range with the locking handles.. BUT if anyone has suggestions on size please let me know. I will be mounting heat tape or a UTH on the bottom, I am going to start out with a rheostat and then later switch to the thermostat. This may change if I can find a good priced thermostat locally instead of having to order online. I am going to be using the Acurite Thermometer/Hygrometer from Walmart and I also have a temp gun already. Substrate will be newspaper since I have a stack of it already. Hides I plan on using plastic bowls or flower pots as I've seen on a post here until I know he is full grown then I'm going for the fancy black plastic ones. Water dish is prolly going to be a dollar tree dog bowl, one of the heavy types. I do believe this sounds good so far but am open to suggestions. Eventually within the next year I will be buying an Animal Plastics T8 or T10 and getting one of the really good thermostats from spyder robotics or helix and a few other nifty stuff I want.

Once again thanks for all the help and for having this lovely forums I can obsessively read through
