Yeah but "Easy To Handle" compared to What??

And don't worry about "Enabling" , I'm a self Enabler, I manage to talk myself into all kinds of things

That's okay, you're among friends...we "understand".

And we look forward to your updates...

All of my adult carpets are 6-7ft. I don’t expect them to get much larger length wise. Life expectancy can be 20+ years. A 4x2x2 or 6x2x2 enclosure would be awesome for an adult carpet. Mine aren’t very active but they do appreciate branches and shelves for climbing and perching. They’re really easy to care for and fun to keep. If he’s healthy then I hope you take the plunge.

6-7 foot is definitely doable, and as life would have it I just ordered a 5x2x2 from AP Cages this month and will order another one about mid June,

I could come up with temporary quarantine housing, until then......

Wow you guys are good and this enabling thing

Many many years of practice... On others as well as on ourselves.

From back on the "Monty" thread in January.......

If you don't have an enclosure, head to Lowes and pick up a Hefty 100-qt tub, it'll be plenty big and has four latches to hold the lid on so he can't take an unauthorized slither-about. Add a heat pad + thermostat and he shouldn't have any more shedding issues.

So I filled out the application/ questionnaire for Theodus the Carpet Python, I mentioned that he would be in a 100 quart tub (Purchased 2 of them just to have after that advice Thanks bcr229) for at 90 days under quarantine.

I got a reply back this morning: "You final plan looks great! But you’ll need something much bigger than 100 qt for quarantine. He definitely can’t be in something that size for 90 days. Would you be able to provide something larger?"

So what's larger? the 100 quart is 3'x18"x12" approximately. An AP Enclosure is on order but we all know how that is going to go.

What can I use for quarantine that is bigger that the 100 quart? All the Exo-Terras and glass enclosures like that at the local pet shop are 3' wide also so no help there.

I did reply to their email, added the size of the 100 quart tub, and told them bigger is no issue what size would they suggest?

This is why I keep a stash of IRIS VE175 Christmas Tree tubs. WalMart usually has them during the holiday season for about $30, not sure who would stock them now at a reasonable price. Closest I could find for you is The Container Store in Richmond, but maybe you can get it shipped to one in northern VA at no cost since a lot of the larger retailers are doing free "ship to store" options now.

You would have to find a way to secure the lid along the middle of the two long sides, a strong snake could push it up pretty easily.

Seems there's a Container store in Reston Va. There are 3 in stock, and I'll be about 8 miles from there Sunday afternoon.

I'll just order one for pick-up and grab it on my travels.

And I have a garage full of bungee cords in the garage, I can secure the middle with no issues hopefully.

Nice! Bungees stretch though. Get a set of non-stretching nylon luggage or camping straps, I think they're $8-10 at WalMart.
