Can't figure out how to edit my previous post. Is there an age limit on editing or am I just blind?
Hm... I appear to be able to edit this one. So I'm going to assume there's an age limit.
Anyway I've been in touch with a breeder in my area who has helped me with what I think are the last few problems I had.
1)Glass doors, not acrylic for my geographic region
2)Off feed snakes can be checked for returning to feed once every 3 weeks
3)Found a herp vet in my area (Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services)
4)I shouldn't need a separate humidifier in my geographic location, but I should double check when I make my setup
5)A different way to prekill rats for feeding to snakes (as opposed to frozen/thawed) is to buy live ones then put them in an box with a tube that slowly fills the box with CO2. This may not be appropriate for only feeding one snake what with the cost of purchasing CO2 and all, but still interesting to know
6)Confirmed that for an AP cage a heat pad will not work, need heat tape
7)He has an adorable bp that I plan on buying. He's promised to hold it for me until my setup is ready (with proper down payment of course).The breeder is so close we won't even have to ship, I'll just go pick it up when I'm all set. =D Also I can inspect it before purchasing and if something somehow turns out to be wrong with it I can ask the original owner to fix it before he sells to me.
8)I should get a heat gun too
Research still to do:
1)Mock up T8 vs T12 interior sizes for fit checking ease of accessibility
