    I unfortunately do not have a photo of my Hogger's enclosure, but I can give you the details. The terrarium is 30", 12", 12" with crushed english walnut shells for bedding. There is a hot side, with a lamp and a UTH to keep it hot, and also a cold side, with no equipment on it to keep it that way. Both sides have a hide and the water bowl is on the cold side (remember to put it there and not anywhere else).

    You have read that I used a 20 gallon tank, but a 10 gallon would work just as well.

    Here's my set-up:

    Sorry, the snake is hiding in this picture so you can't see him.

    It's a 10 gallon with walnut shell substrate, UTH, and a low-wattage ceramic lamp (it's on a dimmer) just to give a photoperiod. Lamp stays on 12 hours and off 12 hours. All the "decoration" items came in a desert theme box from PetSmart. I think it was around $45. All I had to add was the water bowl.

    wouldnt mind doing it but, shipipng would make you probably pay more then you want. plus id rather it be a local pickup due to the fact i dont really have any knowledge in shipping a live animal.

    Yeah, their short stubby body and smiling face does it...
    It still trips me out when they strike at you with a pointy snout.
    Feels like a pencil point.
