Thanks everyone for all the info
Thanks everyone. I have my snakes at home in a rack, but this cage will be an upgrade for the snake I have in my classroom. She has outgrown her 2" neodesa cage, I ordered a herpstat 2 from spyder and it showed up today. I called ap and talked with Ali today, called bob at proheat and left him a message. Hoping he calls back Monday, and he gives an educator discount. Lol If everything works out I hope I can make it so I can pick the cage up at the tinley park narbc in a month. My students know I am looking for a new cage and are excited. It's amazing how many of my students are always fearful of snakes when they start the year, but already all of them want to hold her. She is a great ambassador for reptiles. I always get the what if she bites from students and parents. I tell them she has never shown any signs she would, but like any animal with a mouth and teeth that's always possible. Then I tell them I would rather be bit by her than any dog, cat, or rodent. I feel those hurt much worse and cause more damage. Then they ask me if I ever got bit by a snake. Lol. I tell them lots of times, but 90% of time it's my fault during feeding and the other 10% of the time it was an aggressive snake. I usually get the look like they are aggressive? Then I say I have seen way more aggressive dogs and cats than ball pythons. By open house, at the end of the year, many of the hesitant parents are even willing to touch or hold her. Elementary students get a big kick out of saying I held a Python. After last year I had three families go out and get themselves a ball, two said a year earlier they would have never even thought of saying yes to such a pet. Well, I got off topic, sorry! Thanks again everyone.
