I'm going to be frank, I've been in a very negative mood for some time now and this was supposed to be an uplifting moment for a change, but all it's done is crush me down further. This whole snake thing was supposed to help me get my mind off of my life troubles, not add to them...
I understand your frustration, but you should have taken time to think it over before buying it. You could have taken pics & went home to post it here & ask us before buying it. But you bought it.
It's not as if we didn't tell you similar things previously about another used enclosure you looked at.

FYI, when you look at something for sale, always remember it's not the last one on the planet. Don't seem too eager (even if you are)! What's more, if you take the time to go home & think it over, you'd be surprised how the seller's price may come down. That's how you get better deals. Though personally I don't think this would ever be a good deal for reasons already posted. Sorry...

As we've said, it's a learning experience for you, if nothing else. Another learning experience would be to house your snake in this & then have to watch it die from a mystery illness. I KNOW you don't want that...so look at the bright side, eh? It could be worse, always, your life could be worse...like if you weren't able to be online to learn these things, right?
