The above comments are great advice. I was very seriously considering a T8 enclosure to house one or maybe two snakes in (with the divider of course). For me, it came down to how many snakes I want and the sheer cost involved.

If you decide to keep two snakes in one single t8 enclosure, if you use flexwatt and RHP's, you are looking in the neighborhood of $600 for the enclosure setup, plus the cost of your snakes.

I just built my own rack system that can hold 2 young and 2 adults or 6 young, or 4 young and 1 adult, depending on tub configuration. Including a Herpstat II thermostat, I have about $350 in this project. So for me, who would like to have mroe than just one or two snakes, it seemed better and cheaper to have a small rack and tub setup.

If money were no object to me, I would likely have 5 or 6 T8's stacked on top of each other, as I just really like the look of them.

It comes down to what you like, and what you are willing to spend. I think there are small pros and cons to all the systems, but I have talked to folks here on this forum that have about any kind of setup you can think of, and have happy, healthy snakes. Some setups are just a little trickier then others.
