I just need some friendly advice for the situation I'm in.

I learned this lesson also. I had one snake in a glass aquarium, then moved her to a RBI PVC cage. Then I started getting more snakes, and more cages. Before I knew it I had 4 RBI cages and was running out of room so I switched to an RBI rack - sold the cages on craigslist for a fraction of what I paid for them and now strictly use racks.

The funny thing (well not so funny) is now I got my first Boa and would love to have one of those cages I sold back now.

Live and learn I guess.

Well that just sucks. I always hang on to my old snake stuff because I know I'll be getting some new babies soon :)

Dont waste your money on a tank! I did and it set me back at least $100 lost. Go with a tub til til you can afford a T8.

I keep my room cool. So I wrapped 3 sideds with insulation. tried using 2 UTH's 1 for warm and one for cool. But then my ambients were still to low so I had added a CHE. Then I couldn't get the humidity to stay above 30% for more than an hour.

But in the end and thanks to Aaron I went ahead with the T8! Man do I love this cage, every time I check on it everything is perfect. It doesnt matter what temp it is in my room or what its perfect inside his cage. If you truely plan on going with the T8 at any point in the future wait!
