Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

LARGE display case (heating hints)
How can I go about heating this large display
I got this great offer from my local pet store since I come in all the time and look at the reptiles. There is no market for them anymore so they gave this to me, with a Cal King and Blue Tongued Skink for $100.  Yay!
I asked about heating... NOTE: They don't want to handle the snake and really don't seem to have much reptile knowledge.... the manager says she uses a ceramic heater to distribute heat throughout.
As you can see on the bottem the drawers pull out, does this mean I will be able to possibly install flex watt tape on the inside of this? (once I move this out I will take it apart and take more pictures)
I hope to house Ball Pythons (babies and adults), The Cal King, and Possibly a Boa. (The skink I am giving to my best friend as a Christmas gift!)
Let me know your opinions on what you can see so far! I am REALLY excited!

basically those cages require a heated room to provide proper ambient temps. You use a light to give a basking spot.

It does however look like their is room for you to install flexx watt tape underneath them, it will be tight, but you can pull it off.
Make sure to get a T-stat too as the FW Tape can exceed tempeatures of 100 degrees.

similar cages as pictured that I have encountered are built with melamine on the bottom. If that is the case, trying to heat the bottom with flexwatt would not work. Flexwatt recommends that its product does not exceed 95 degrees to avoid failure.

Found out that there is a vent that can blow hot hair in... and filter. They didn't have a filter in it, but I would take advantage of it. I still need to take more pictures. But there are also thermostat dials and hydrostat... So I believe you can control each environment separately.

You truly did get an amazing deal.
How are you liking the king?
She's the first potato chip.
What's your next?
