    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I need to order some caging for two pythons that I have, a 2006 male jungle carpet python and a 2001 dwarf female reticulated python.

right now I have the carpet python in a ball rack, he's on the small side for a carpet python and he's doing quite well in it. I have heard that carpets don't do well in racks in the long run and develop respiratory issues so I'd like to move him into a cage.

The reticulated python is 9 feet, about 20 pounds, and is currently in a 40 gallon tank. I think she needs a little more space to move around, and I'd like to order the cages together to get it out of the way in one fell swoop.

I'm not sure of the most appropriate sizes, does anyone have some recommendations?

Also, is belly heat the best option if I want to stack them? I assume if I have belly heat I'll need to have a thermostat for each cage?

Thanks in advance!
