    This is just my luck, I changed out the substrate and noticed the bottom of the tank is cracked. :eek:

    I'm going to switch my tanks over to those plastic tubs I see you all talking about.

    My snakes must think I'm one terrible owner. :frustrate

    It happens Earl, just decide what you want to do as far as setup and get it over with. Let your snake settle in for a good solid week after you make these major changes, then offer a feed after the week of quiet time is over. Aspen is a great substrate if you want to go for a loose substrate with your tub or you can just go with layers of newspaper/kraft paper for absolute ease of cleaning (when paper is clean...it's completely clean...no hidden bombs in the substrate LOL). :)

    "Hidden bombs" LOL!

    I have a Blood and a Ball, both are around 1 1/2 years old, and are growing fast so I'm trying to figure out what size tub to get but I'm on top of it. Once I get these fellows all straightened out I'll take some pics.

    You'll love tubs! We are switching our collection over from Rubbermaid/Sterlite tubs to Iris brand tubs....all the benefits of a tub but glass clear and totally smooth inside. Believe me chipping a bit of dried urate out of a groove in a tub gets old fast LOL. Due remember to reinforce the tub lid for extra security as most lids have some give in them. Things like large binder clips, straps, etc. A soldering wand (small one $6.00 at Walmart) makes vent holes easy to melt though work in a well ventilated area of course - plastic fumes make snakekeepers loopy! :D

    I had to wait until he was back in his tank before I could get a pic of his head. Silly snake.
