if you are concerned about prices, then use a tub for now. The only reason my python has a 55gal tank is that I got it for the fair price of free![]()
Get a plastic sweater box with the lid, poke holes along the perimeter of top
get one about 1.5-2 times the snakes length
And a UTH
And a thermostat
For hides with a baby snake, anything from a empty paper towel roll (sliced down middle) to a empty tissue box is fine. Maybe even go to the dollar store and get some fake plants
Caring for these snakes does not have to be an extremely expensive endeavor.
