    Crazymonkee: Thanks again. I do think pet stores in the US are more professional.

    MootWorm: Thanks for your tip! I don't have plastic bowl and soldering iron. But I will go to see if I can get anything from the household stores.

    LunaTheBp: I do hope there is no egg.... I feel bad if I have to dispose them. I love to see babies... but I know I am not able to keep more, and rarely have people here can take care of such a long life pet.

    southwind: I really didn't know they love staying in dark and small space. When I saw those kinds of snake keeping environment, I thought the snakes were suffer as they don't have space to move around and always stay in the dark 'drawers' . Thanks for the links and the videos. Watching him made me want to fly there!!!! I heard about reptiles exhibitions in the US, and I hope I can have chance to go in the future. I am thinking... I should have gone up here to ask for advice earlier so that I wouldn't buy such a big tank but something suit my babies better. I use both belly heat and heat lamps in the winter. We don't have central heating at home, I worry that if I don't use the lamps, it would be too cold for my snakes. By the way, how do you keep your snakes warm in every single tub? Do you put heat mat underneath each tub?

    I dont have any heat tape under any of my tubs. They have their own room and I keep it about 80-85 degrees in there. So far I havent had any problems with any of them.

    Re: I don't want them breed! What can I do?

    The rack system has heat tape attached to it on the back bottom of the drawers for the tubs, my particular rack system has 2 rows 4 inch strips per drawer which helps with the coldness of my room, I'm A little lazy to post a picture of my own heat tape but here is a decent picture of a single row of heat tape setup.

    Keep in mind that the heat tape is hooked up to a thermostat which has a probe taped to the heat tape to control the temperature.

    These are amazing! http://spyderrobotics.com/home/products.html

    These changed my life from always worrying if the temperature was correct using an analogue

    thermostat and an additional low accuracy digital thermometer.

    I was literally fretting over it daily!
