tanks

hey guys i plan on building a tank for my two ball pythons and for my 3third one im gunna get so i was woundering if i could see some tank set ups that u have so i can have some ideas i have a basic design in mind but u know i would like some ideas

I would just buy a pvc one from a place like animal plastics. You can get three and stack them all right on top of eachother.

One tank for multiple snakes??? :colbert:

Yeah I would recommend a prebuild PVC cage or a rack for multiple snakes, but if you are wanting to build your own go to your local hardware store and get some melamine and plexiglass, and with a little tool knowledge you could get one built relatively simple.

well this tank is gunna have 3 diffrent spots for the snakes lol and idk something about the pvc ones i dont like

I'd go with the PVC tanks, personally. They hold heat/humidity very well, are built like...welll...tanks! and the folks at Animal Plastics are great to deal with and their products are top-notch if you elect to buy from them. You could maybe build some cheaper if you went to the hardware store but were it me, I'd buy them pre-made. I can only speak for Animal Plastics as they're the only ones I've bought but they're quality units, they hold up and would be easier to clean and maintain than what a melamine one would be plus they could be stacked and easily moved in terms of their weight versus a melamine unit. I have three racks from them and will be buying tanks in the future when I get my Gila monster(s). As far as dimensions if you're dead set on building your own look at the dimensions for the 30 or 40 gallon breeder tanks and go from there, depending on how old your animals are. I wouldn't put hatchlings in tanks that size, were it me but whatever works for you...

PVC is the way to go:

Compare the price of a PVC cage to a similarly sized glass tank... You will find that they are very similar. Sure racks are more cost efficient, but not everybody has 30 snakes.

You get what you pay for. PVC cages hold in heat and humidity extremely well and can easily create an environment vastly different than the room they are in, without any issues caused by heat/humidity. No other caging solution on the market can do that.

apcages.com is for Animal Plastics. They don't update their web-site much, if ever, but if you click on the links at the top left of the page, you'll find the terrestrial cages (ball pythons, other ground dwelling reptiles) or the terrestrial cages, depending what kind of snake you have. They aren't cheap but they're worth every penny for how well made they are and how they hold up and like Aaron said, compared to a glass tank, they're waaaaaaaay better and about the same price, if not a little cheaper.

i like the t8 one alot but i would need that one and plus another single one

If you got two T8's with their sale price, you'd be saving $39 AND have a spot for another snake, lol! The T8's are priced at $150 each right now, so if you get two that's $300, compared to one T8 and one T1 for a total of $339 plus shipping and whatever you add onto them, if anything. Just a thought.
