I'm thinking of buying a Visionarium instead of just a regular aquarium. I know the only size available right now is 30" x 12" x 12" and I've always read that the tank should be half the length of the snake. The MBK I'm getting is over 3 and is less than 5 feet so I'm thinking this should be fine. Also, I know that the bottom is corrugated and most people use Ultratherm UTH's to heat the tank but I was wondering if I could use the T-Rex Cobra UTH's. They seem to look the same as the Ultratherms. If not then what could I use?
Also I need some type of thermometer and I was thinking either an ESU Digital Thermometer w/probe or a Zoo Med 500 Watt Thermostat. With the Zoo Med I can attach a timer to drop the temp for night time which I'd think would be better.
One last thing, I'd really, really like to use sand in the cage- Reptilite to be exact. I've heard because it isn't made from calcite that it's smoother and doesn't cause any irritation with the scales. And I won't be feeding directly on the sand. I'll be using some type of Rubbermaid container with a cut-out on the side for that. That way there's no chance of ingesting the sand. Would this work or no? Thanks!
