    Re: Can I buy a quality thermostat that will regulate 2 tanks?
    Way back when I also wasted alot of time and money with tanks, Constantely purchasing something new to try to get there conditions perfect or upgrading, eventually I went to a tub and I saw a 200 percent improvement in everything. Feeding response, husbandry conditions, ease of maitenence, everything was so much better I will never think twice about going back to a tank. And to think all that from a 7 dollar tub.
    There are pros and cons to each one so weigh them in your head and deciede for yourself what you want, its your snakes and your decision.

    I understand that the standard glass tank (aquarium) from the local pet store isn't great with retaining heat and humidity. But what about the fancier set-ups from places like Boaphile, Animal Plastics, etc. I don't mind the initial investment, as I'll be keeping the snake waaaay longer than the darling dogs we spend loads on.

    I've heard great things about the RBI (www.reptilebasics.com) cages heated with radiant heat panels. Even the pet store tanks work they just take a little extra effort and some DIY creativity.

    IMO, building your own tank out of acrylic instead of glass is a great option. Acrylic is an amazing type of plastic with the clarity of glass. Getting the best of both worlds is a beautiful thing.

    I have a T20 which is 4 x 2 x 2 for my older boa. It is great quality and very sturdy. I could stand on the thing if I wanted to.
