African House Snake King
Folks this is a little off topic but I hope someone can help me,
Recently when I bought my newest corn I got a small cage for her first year it most closely fits the size of a 10 Gallon Leader tank that would be 20 x 10 x 11. Except mine is 20 Long x 10 deep x 7 high. It is brown trim and all glass with a sliding screen top.
In my office I have built in shelves that are 10 inches high between each other. I just moved her to one of these shelves and the fit is great. With that cage there is still clearance to reach in do basic maintenance etc. If you need better access you just pull the cage out about 30%. I still get 17 inches of space on each shelf for typical shelf use.
Now get this I have 24 spaces like this. My home office is also a perfect reptile room for my next venture.
While a bit off topic my plan is to make a gift of my lavender corn to a good friend who has been in love with her since he first saw her. He is an old army buddy who served in the first Gulf War with me and I think based on our friendship I just want him to have her. I then plan to get the largest for age Okeetee I can find that is Het for Amel and if all goes well my growing like a weed Amel and the new Corn will be my only corns and hopefully breed some big kids. My female has the girth of a 15 month old snake already and is 23 inches more or less and only 5 months old so I think she will be a big girl.
My new passion is going to African House Snakes and adults of that species will do perfectly in that cage I mention above. I know I could use tupperware but the glass is much better looking and I will grow my colony two at a time or so, so the investment won't kill me and my wife will be more understanding with "pretty cages" rather then "ugly tubs" and honestly I will too.
Now after all that my problem is as I said I got this tank at a show. I can't find any online. None at petco, none at petsmart, none nowhere. Worse! I thought nothing of this little viv when I bought it just needed a place for my amel to grow a little while before she got her permanent home. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you know what I did right?, Pealed the label off the tank and tossed it out. So, I DON'T know who makes them so finding them is real hard.
I am going back to the Texas Reptile Expo in Sept and can gamble that the same supplier will be there. It is my plan to get two of them for two new African House Snakes. I would prefer to get them in advance and think with quantity I may get a better deal online too. It is also nice to have vivs ready to go when you bring new babies home.
So can anyone help me find these cages again the dimensions are 20 Long x 10deep x 7 high and they have brown trim and sliding screen covers. My shelves are 10 inches Deep and for slender snakes like African's they are big enough for a life time. I feel like a dolt for not writing down the manufacturer of this cage! Anyone have one of these or know who makes them?
