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.

Cages for Ball Pythons
My question is about cages for ball pythons not racks. What would be a good cage if I was going to set up three in my living room I don't want to use tanks. I was thinking about using 321D Boaphile 35.5 Long 24 deep 11.5 tall.
I'm not sure I like what they push as a thermostat. I'm open to all suggestions.

Those would provide plenty of space for a ball python. My only suggestion since I have T8's which are 4'x2'x1' is that if you can find something 15" high instead of 12" high, to go with that. With a 12" high enclosure it can sometimes be difficult to clean in the far back corners, and that extra bit of height can make it easier to reach.
I really like the Herpstat thermostats.

Melinda has some great advice above. I don't use tanks for my ball pythons so I can't give you much input there, but I second the Herpstat recommendation. When I first started out I used VE thermostats exclusively, and over time became dissatisfied with them. The LED screens started flaking out, displaying all sorts of weird characters, and I couldn't trust them to hold temperature after that so I retired them. This happened to all 3 of the VEs I bought (2 VE100s and 1 VE200).
The only issue I've run into so far with Herpstats is that you can't stack them like you can the VEs. There's some sort of electrical interference that happens, and it whacks out the thermostat. Side by side with 2-3" separating them is fine. The menu can be a bit annoying to go through, but once set up they're pretty bombproof. I have two Herpstat 1s, and one Herpstat 2.

When I was breeding I used racks I'm no longer breeding now. I sold the racks. For now I'm using 40 breeder tanks. To much going on health wise so I just want to have a few as pets. At first I was just going to have a Blue Eye Lucy and A High Wight Pied. But I got a Pin Stripe in trade for some feeders. So that makes three.
As a thermostat I have always just used the Zoo Med Repti Temp 500 R I'm sure I wont get a thumbs up on that but it worked. I just just a temp gun to be sure I was good on my temp.
With only going to have three cages I would like to use some thing that could handle all three.

If I was setting up 3 enclosures in the living room, where I wanted to be able to enjoy watching the animals I would look at vision model 332 enclosures and install radiant heat panels, as well as belly heat since my living room tends to get much cooler then the room I keep reptiles in.
