    whew! good.


    I will be dealing with 50-100 gram balls to start, and it will be a little while before they get tipsy sized..

    Then it will be time to get a new blade for my miter saw and a 12 foot piece of pvc and have at it.

    Is alcohol bad for BP's ? I cant imagine they drink much alcohol in nature.

    4.6 cents each

    I think these will work well, and i can pick them up at Sam's club. They hold about 12-16 ounces of water, and seem pretty stable.

    Those edges seem like they would be sharp. Are they? Like it was mentioned, the 8oz deli cups are good up to 300-400 grams. I have used the 4" pvc couplers and love them. I wonder if there is a 2" PVC coupler that would fit the 8oz cups.

    A snake's skin is tough, I wouldn't worry about those edges unless there's real sharp corners. The problem is that takes up half the tub.. will you only put water in one of the compartments, or the whole thing? Thermoregulation is kinda tough if half your house is a water bowl. You could try turning it 90 degrees to the side so the snake could still get to the cool side I suppose.

    Ya know, after I mentioned 2" couplers, I realized that 4" probably refers to the diameter. Shows you what I know about plumbing supplies. The coupler is probably closer to 6" high. Its late and I hope this makes sense.

    4" coupler refers to the diameter, yes. I went to home depot and bought some of the parts labeled '4" coupler' but they were actually a tad big, and the cups fell through. I ended up with the '4" female adapter' and that worked perfectly. I recommend bringing one of the cups with you when you buy couplers to make sure the fit is perfect.
