Glass tanks!

For those of you who keep your snakes in glass tanks, let's see them!

Re: Glass tanks!

These were taken a while ago the day before cleaning day. The 1st one is a 20 gallon that's turned on it's side and serves as a crested gecko tank. It used to hold 2 females but I have since rehomed one female so I keep my escape artist male in there now and it seems since he's had more room he doesn't escape!

The 2nd is a 15 gallon tank I keep my special needs leo who has shedding, feeding, and stressing issues, thus all the hides and background.

The 3rd is a 20 gallon long that I keep 2 relatively small female leos in. In my years of keeping leos now, these are the only 2 I seem able to keep together. =/

I have a whole bunch more that I may post later. =)

Looking to replace my tanks with stackable PVC in the future though. =)

Re: Glass tanks!

I know the tank is bare but he's a Kenyan sand boa and he has all his fun under the sand.

Re: Glass tanks!

This is an old pic of mine with my favorite decor, just imagine some aspen in the floor for the recent one

Re: Glass tanks!

This is what mine looked like shortly after I set it up..about half of my plants have died since these pics though and I'm losing another to spider mites. It has an acrylic lid and houses a Columbian rainbow boa. Moving up to a 125 gallon soon here.

Re: Glass tanks!



This picture is a little out of date--I've replaced the cool side hide and moved stuff around. But, still, you get the gist of it!

I don't have a good, current pic of the garter's set up at all. It is Full of Crap to console the little wussy shoestring.



...just to give you an idea.

Re: Glass tanks!

The top one is my Jungle Carpet set up 20 gal high for a yearling, the bottom is for my adult BP, it's a 50 gal with 3 hides and much foliage for security


Pictures don't capture them to well...

Re: Glass tanks!

My gripe with glass tanks stems mainly from the fact that you have to access them from the top (which can be tough if they're placed high or there's no room to gain access), and that they do not lend themselves to stacking. I used aquariums for the first year or so and kept one to use as a quarantine tank. Once I switched over to HDPE enclosures with a front drop-down doors, I'd never go back to using "glass tanks "Just my opinion.

A simple wooden rack can allow you to stack glass tanks if you want to. Here is one I had made.

Re: Glass tanks!

There was recently a thread made by OP, I think, going into that full discussion, so.... It'd be nice not to see everything repeated here. As OP stated, this is a thread for pictures, not to discuss which type of enclosure is better.
