Default Dry Tank

Great idea Cindy! At least then there would be something living in the tank.
Unfortunately we had to kill another snake last week. This one was in
the kitchen. I say unfortunately as it turned out to be a tree snake but
it was very thick and about 4 feet long and the lighting where it was
made it next to impossible to see the colouring and we couldnt see it's
head - looked like a brown snake and I'm too young to die
Next day I saw a beautiful coppery coloured one go through the house
yard. I'm all snaked out right now and you wouldn't believe how many
noises round your house can suddenly sound like a snake sliding

I looked at terreriums and it seems like the tank would need to be
removed for things to be installed correctly? I'm not even an
amatuer - let alone an expert - so I have no idea if that's the
case or not.



I don't think so.


You guys seem like a pretty knowledgeable group - what would you do
if you had maybe a thousand or two to spend on this project to make
it look presentable - if not really cool looking?



Does the owner like reptiles? That would make a great home for some bearded
dragons! They need UVB light, which shoudn't be a problem. Some kind of
heating from overhead that makes a temperature gradient in the tank.
They're dry/desert animals, so maybe a small fan to move the air.

I would LOVE having something like this....it's hard to ever have a big
enough enclosure to make a good home for a reptile. I keep boa
constrictors, an iguana, a turtle. I would NOT recommend an iguana, though.
