    All I can say is "There are loads of options". It just all depends on your situation and future plans. I recall in a previous post someone offering "complete tub packages" or a mention there of. They are great if you plan on starting a breeding project. Don't take up space and is adequate for you pair. My ...

    hope that helps some what...good luck.

    If you are spending the $4000 plus for a pair of albino ball pythons, I would house them seperately (ball pythons should not be housed toether) and get them the best enclosure and not a cheap one. You also need to make sure you are gettin albino ball pytons and not albino burms (which can grow 18 ft+ and cost $150-$300).

    Check out Matts combos. You should also be able to get a thermostat ata decent price there too.

    Re: Good caging for a pair?

    i built my 7 tub rack for around $125. that's not including the $37 for the thermostat. i got flexwatt heating for $44.45 from reptilebasics.com he was 30 cents cheaper by the foot. i got the lumber from lowels, $34 total. they was $2 cheaper per board. the heat tape was like $6 for 50 yards. walmart had the sterilite 1860 tubs for $5 each. the iris tubs ran from $12 to $17 per tub so i had a big savings there. its cheap to build a small rack. i use a router and a 1/2 bit for the shelfs. too about 2 days to think up a plan and build something. it took more time for the paint to dry.

    If you are spending that much on albino BPs, you're going to want the best housing for them, and you're probably going to want to be able to see them easily. Try Animal Plastics or Boaphile plastics. If you'd rather go with a rack and tub setup, either of those will offer those as well, or you could go with Freedom Breeder.

    If you want to go with separate tubs, do contact Matt at MG Reptiles. He'll set you up really well.

    Well, if your uncle can afford to send you a pair of albino ball pythons, I'm sure that he would be a literal fountain of good information about caging ... what did he suggest?
