Just zoo med is expensive but good for tanks not cages. Ultratherms are basically felxwatt sealed to be water proof to a degree. I use hot glue to seal it in to stop pee to get under anything. I went through about 2 bags of glue sticks for that cage.
okay not to make you mad or anything but this is starting to stress me out. i just am trying to spend the cheepest amount possible and i feel like i wont even have enough for the snake! and i just realized that i dont even know where the heck im going to put the 4 foot cage. i have to buy a rheostat or somehting or i have to think this over whether or not i can do this. im starting to lean towards a ball python now. its rediculous.
okay so this is how my setup is going to be:

-animal plastics cage(4x2x1.5)

-ultratherm heat pad on one side of the cage, glued down on each corner with hot glue, attached to a thermostat or rheostat.

-newspaper

-2 hides
-water bowl


-actual snake(dont even know where the hell im getting it.)

im really starting to lean towards a ball python. i feel like i am going to go broke buying all this crap. the cage is what costs so much and the stupid heating crap is making me mad. i just think there is a chance i will get a ball python instead.
