I agree, I have that kind of cash, damn I went out and dropped another 400 today for a QT tank for my lesser.. Never mind the 350 for the snake, I just at all this point in time don't feel the need to add a uht and thermostat, once I set up my T10 then I will forsure but few for now I have a great set up for a glass tank holding 40-60% humidity with lights
