    if we are talking about ball pythons, the racks are fine. in africa they are dug out of the ground, not taken from trees.:rockon:

    It definitely sounds easier to keep up than a large glass viv. What about size? Does a 32 qt plastic container equal a 8 gallon tank? That's just the math of it. I plan to put mine in stacked 40 or 50 gallon tanks from an as yet undetermined manufacturer. I took on a great responsibility when I got my snakes and they will get what that responsibility requires.

    Not to say that everyone else isn't taking that responsibility, just saying that I am not one to just get a snake as a toy and not take care of it. That last post didn't come out exactly as I meant it to.

    Understood, and while your snake will grow and do well in a glass tank (if the extra care requirements are met) most of the people around here find that their snakes do better in plastic enclosures. I certainly don't consider my snakes toys.

    i bought a 1996# sterlite and tried to hook up a UTH to it but it won't stick is that alright, the temps are around 88 on the side with the UTH and 71 on the other side I kno these aren't good temps do you think i should go get a bigger UTH cause the on i have now is for a 20 gal.

    Use foil tape to adhere it to the tub. Those temps are way too low. You might need UTHs and tstats on both sides to get 82-84/92-94

    kay thanks i was also wondering how you keep the tub closed the ends are locked but in the middle there isn't anything to hold it down should i just lay something down the middle?

    I've done it ghetto style by putting a book on top but I like the heavy duty clips (orange or blue rubber grips) from homedepot. They are like $3 each.
