Getting Tanks For My 2 (1.1) Balls...

[Randy J.]

Would like to see pics, of your BP enclosures.. I need ideas for my two tanks, as far as set up/design. Will be getting Zilla Critter Cages, so tank style enclosures are what I most want to see...

I don't use tanks, instead I use PVC enclosures, they are much better at holding in heat and humidity, and will make your snake feel safer because only one side is made from glass.









What do you plan to use to heat the tanks?

[Randy J.]

I have UTHs, Water Dishes, Substrate, Hides, and Hoppers already... Where could I look into those tanks, they're nice????

[The Serpent Merchant]

You can only get them new from the manufacture, Here is a link to their website

What you want is one of their terrestrial cages.

Just for reference, the top cage in my stack is a T8 (4'x2'x1'), and the bottom cage is a T12 (4'x2'x2')

for a ball python, the T8 is the best choice from Animal Plastics

Do you have a thermostat for your UTHs?

[The Serpent Merchant]

If you are interested in them, I can answer pretty much any questions you have

[Randy J.]

No thermostats yet, but will be getting very soon... AP's are out of my price range, since I'll be working up to 4 enclosures..

I'm a little confused on how you are heating Morpheus' and Neo's cages but other than that looks good.

You cant go wrong with homemade tubs, you can get them cheap and they hold heat and humidity very well. 1 plastic under bed storage tub, 1 water dish, 1 thermostat, 1 UTH, 2 indoor/outdoor thermometers, 2 hides made out of flower pots, subtrate = 1 happy snakeVery simple and easy to keep up to snuff especially if you have lots of snakes.

[Randy J.]

Tubs are not an option, I like to see my guys, and girl, even when hiding..

All tanks have lights, and UTHs, except Tarantula tank (no direct lighting, they shy from it)... I removed lights, thermometers, and wired probes for sake of better photos (besides I use red bulbs which wouldn't make a good photo).. They're all in the upper 80's (warm side), & right at 78.3 (cool side)...
