    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

In the future I'd like to own a blood python or a borneo short tail. What sort of housing set up do you use and what did it cost you to build? Would a large tub work?

Also, what is your preferred method of heating for bloods and borneos?
 
Hello. It's great you are doing your research ahead of time!
We use appropriately sized rubbermaid/sterilite containers. Always have a water source large enough for them to fit their bodies in completely. We either use Scott paper towels, or newspaper for substrate. We keep our snake room with an ambient temp of around 83 degrees. All of our animals are doing fantastic. If you have any forther questions feel free to PM me and I'll try and help ya out the best I can.

Thank you for responding! How do you alter the tubs to make them suitable for a snake? I can't heat my house to that degree either. I don't have a seperate room for my herps unfortunately. What is the best heating source to use? UTH? And can a UTH be used with a sterlite bin? Thank you again!
