I just returned from Petsmart with a bevy of supplies. I wanted to see if you all approved of what I got. I don't have the snake yet, so now is the perfect time to make bad decisions if I'm going to make them.
I picked up an Exo-Terra aquarium with a mesh top and sliding front doors. It's 18"x18"x18". I know that's not really going to be long enough when he reaches adulthood, and he doesn't need the extra height, but it's the only locking one they had. The gap in front seems too small for a baby, but there are holes around the top that are big enough, so I thought I could tape them over or something? I also have no furniture at the moment that it'll fit on, so I'll have to deal with that.
I got aspen bedding, a bottle of dechlorinator, some frozen pinkies, a UTH (Zoo Med), a plastic rock water bowl, a half-log hide, a fake plant, and a plastic log hide that can be climbed on. And yes, all this crap set me back some money.
Anyway, I don't have a light because the whole light scene confused me. I picked up a thermometer at Target yesterday--it's like a meat thermometer (with the metal prong) but digital. I'm currently working on getting everything soaked in a bleach solution to be sure there's no "crud" on there before someone moves in. And no, I have no idea where the snake is even coming from at this point.
So...what do you think?
