aaaarrrrggggg!!! big accident
i decided to switch rooms today since my storage room is much bigger than the room i have been using for a bedroom/den/snake room . i got all the furniture moved and all the storage stuff swapped with no problems . when it was time to move snake tanks , i bagged all the critters and put them all in on the bed and then started on the tanks and stands . i got all the smaller tanks(20 , 30 , 40's) moved and went back for the first 75 gallon tank . got it into the new room and tripped over my coffee table and dropped the 75 on a 40 that was on the floor . BIIIGG MESSSS!!! spent 2 hours cleaning up broken glass . both tanks are trashed beyond repair . luckily i had removed my critters before moving .well , now i am stuck with keeping some of my critters in smaller than usual cages for a while . heffy is stuck in gretchens 40 gallon since her 75 busted . mowgli is now moved down to woozles 30 gallon tank since her 40 busted . gretchen is in a 20 long i had extra , and woozle is in a 20 high that i had extra . this just plain stinks . even worse is that they will have to stay in the smaller tanks for a month or 2 . i already have all my extra money for the next couple months tied up on other things and cant afford new tanks right now . i have half of the materials now to build the rack i'm going to be putting together . i should have all the materials within a month(one of the things money is tied up in) . once i get the materials my buddy says he can build and paint it in a day . then it will only have to dry and cure for a few days or so before i can move the ball pythons into it . then there is the pastel ball python i am buying from evan stahl . i have already sent the nonrefundable deposit of 100 bucks so i'm commited to paying it off on time . once those are payed off , then i was planning on replacing my 75 gallon tanks with boafile cages . so heffy will basically be stuck in a 40 gallon tank for about 3 months . the balls will only have to endur for about a month or so till there new rack is done . i feel so bad for my critters having to put up with sub par housing because of something my fault . i guess the only upside right now is i've got alot more space in this room that i did in the other . well , sorry for rambling , but i needed to get some frustrations out .
