Alright...so, my parents and I figured it was one of my siblings who stole the envelope with money in it. They said to each of my 3 siblings, "If the envelope appears on the counter overnight, that is a good thing. No questions asked."
And guess what? It did!! There was only $80 in there, not the full $100, but my biological father said he will replace the $20 that's missing. Which I didn't ask him to do, so that's nice of him.
I just ordered almost everything I need for my snake's permanent enclosure. Only thing I didn't order is the shredded Aspen Snake Bedding, because it didn't qualify for free 2-day shipping. I'll just go to Petsmart and buy it there tomorrow, it's a dollar cheaper there anyways!
And I think I mentioned earlier that I found a screen top that SHOULD fit my 35 gallon tank. So with that in mind, I started a little project with my younger brother - painting the 35 gallon tank's rims and stand jet black. It looks AMAZING, such a huge difference! These pictures do not do it justice, especially the final picture of the black stand. Today I will go out and take a better picture of it to show you guys.
My brother and I had it finished in just a few hours. I still need to do a second coat on the rims of the tank, but that's all.
BEFORE any work was done on it:

I am SO happy with the end result of this little project. I think mister snakey is going to be very happy with his awesome enclosure. He better be, considering how much work I put into it
As I said before, I ordered everything I needed except for the Aspen Snake Bedding, which I will pick up tomorrow after class.
I ordered:
Hydrofarm Digital Thermostat For Heat Mats(a friend was very kind and paid for this for me)
Zoo Med ReptiTherm Under Tank Heater, size Medium
Zilla Fresh Air Screen Cover with Center Hinge, 36-3/8 by 12-3/4-Inch, Black
Fluker's Repta Vines-Pothos(a 6ft fake Pothos vine)
2 of Exo Terra Reptile Cave, Medium
With my remaining $20 I'm going to buy fake plants to decorate his enclosure with, and I'll also find some rocks at the river bank to wash then put in there.
Anyone have suggestions on fake plants to use to decorate his terrarium? I want it to look as natural as possible. This enclosure is going to be a display tank. I'm big on display tanks, this is my 100 gallon aquarium when I first set it up:
