Tank size questions

[reptilemom25]

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not being rude or defensive in any way and if it came off that way I'm sorry. I appreciate the help and your guys time. I'm doing the best with what I have near me since I live in such a small town. Literally 2 hours away from any major city. I'm going to the city on the 19th for a reptile show so I'll see if they have any items you listed there as well.

The spider robotics seems very expensive and I won't be able to order that for a pay period or two. I am willing to work the overtime to buy it if need be.

I want Lucy to be happy and healthy and she seems happy, we will find out for sure in about a half hour or so cause that's feeding time.

I will place the probe like you said and I will find the instructions wherever I put them and post a picture of the instructions to show you.

I've looked up and seen mixed reviews on the zoo med thermostats and they seem like they will do until I can save for the more expensive ones.

I think I've decided to just lose the battle with the glass enclosure and buy either one of the Exxo Terra terrerriums or something like that. I know you guys say the ones you listed are best but I would like to still have Lucy on display as well and I really can't afford to buy the who rack for just one snake.

Can't really say with all the validity in the world but exxo terra claims to have put allot of research into their tanks and say they are suitable for all reptiles

If I were spending the money, I would go with animal plastics over Exo Terra. I own 3 Exo Terra’s. They are really just a nicer version of a glass aquarium. You are going to have the same difficulty regulating in one. They work well for a lot of reptiles, just not BPs. My leopard geckos do well in them as does my crested gecko, but when you need both heat and humidity, they aren’t ideal. You would need a 36x18x12 exoterra for an adult snake, and that runs about $200. A similarly sized animal plastics enclosure will cost $190 shipped. It would still allow you to display your girl.


I am in a similar situation to you as far as access to stores. I really only have Petsmart and one small local store. I order almost everything online.
