    Oh I should have added this in and it costs you nothing but your time. Grab the yellow pages and start phoning around to the vet clinics to locate a vet that has experience with snakes. Ask for quotes for common things like fecal float, sexing, general exam and weighing. You may be surprised at the wide range vets charge so it's always good to get options. Also a lot of vets don't see snakes so better to have the number of one handy before you might need it.

    Oh and you'll need a digital thermomter too! (no strips or dials PLEASE!!) One that will measure two temps and humidity. Those are cheap though, and only run about $10.

    Geesh how could I have forgotten that! Thank you Christie! Here's what we use just for an idea (lots of choices though and I personally want a temp gun thingy) but these are not expensive and easy to find and work really quite well. WalMart $12.00 (I need a kick back from Wally World).

    another alternative is to heat up a piece of metal with a pointy end and use it by pushing gently on it and the metal slides right thru

    i have found that by doing so it has less chances of cracking ( although not as good as a soldering iron)

    i used a kitchen knife to make holes in one of my tubs, just heated the end up on the cooker, makes a mess of the knife tho and a soldering iron is much easier and quicker as you dont have to re-heat it up between each hole lol.
