so, at work( pet supplies plus) the other day, we got in a All-Glass Aquairum 47 gallon tank, plus stand & flourecent lights( dont need them i think). it was 200$ off, and so i got one, it was $140. i have a few problems tho.

it came with a hood with flourecent lights. but the whole lid is made for fish, not a ball python. i think i should jsut not use the hood at all and make a new lid for it?

the other problem is, it is bow fronted. it has a curve on the front peice of glass. anyone have any suggestions for making a lid for this? i know lids cant be that hard to make, they jsut have to be secure, right?


also, for the fun part.

how should i set it up?, like a floor plan of the cage. the cage ( rufly measured) is 3 feet long, 1 foot wide, and almost 2 feet high. what kind of lighting am i gonna need? will i need more then one heat pad? is there anyway to take heatpads off and switch them to another cage?
any ideas on how many hide boxes? im thinking i want a large enough water dish for him to get in too. i also really like little shelves, or platforms in snake cages? what kinda things could i make?


hahah sorry for so many questions. pick and choose as you please, these are jsut the things on my mind right now about the cage.
