I know there's a sticky about using an aquarium to house a snake. What I'm wondering is what happens when you house one in an aquarium that is housed in a cabinet-style aquarium stand. Is there room under the aquarium for the UTH? Is it generally possible to lift the aquarium on feet to place the uth under it? Or is the aquarium somehow attached to the cabinet?
We have Sammy in a large sterilite container now, and it works great and will probably always be his winter home, as it's so easy to keep warm. But with summer on the way, we'd like to eventually move him to a display tank (I know, they're not exactly display snakes, but at least we can admire the artfully decorated tank, lol) downstairs. Our house stays around 80 in the summer, so we expect it to be reasonably easy to maintain temps inside the tank.
By the way, for anyone interested, he's now had two perfect sheds with us, and he's eating aggressively--the mouse doesn't even hit the ground before he's struck and wrapped himself around it. He snatches it right out of the tongs.
So, any thoughts on working with aquariums in cabinets would be great. Thanks! Oh, and links to previous discussions on this are quite welcome too--I did a search, but all I found was general information about aquariums.
Thanks, guys!
