lets see now....instead of wasting money on glass tanks which are hard to control heat and humidity I should have just spent the extra right from the start on a good quality enclosure . I would be money ahead! Second I wish I could get back the wasted money on vet bills because my snake did not eat for 1 1/2 months during his first winter only to realize that its normal in some snakes to go off feed for as long as 3 months or more in some cases! Grrr.
