I went by what you said. But you also said you were looking for a 75-100 gallon bowfront aquarium. Even though it lacks the bowfront, it's still 90 gallons, which is well into the range you wanted. Though I agree with the others that you should just build one yourself.

Re: Where can I find cheap tanks??

Bow front tanks only come in 72 and 155 and even then on the very ends they are actually smaller and the middle stays the same. Like say a 72 bow and 75 there both 4'x1.5'x20" but the 75 is 1.5" all the way across the tank the 72 is only 1.5' in the very center and smaller on the ends. I'd just build one. I built a 4'x2'x3' for around $130 out of 3/4" melamine

Re: Where can I find cheap tanks??

I made a 4x2x2ft viv for my boa but since then have made a 6ft viv in my garage as it will last her life. She won't grow out of it. Lol I prefer to make them. Alot cheaper

Re: Where can I find cheap tanks??

When my Albino Burmese Python was just a hatchling, I kept him in a glass 30 gallon FISH tank. He got a RI and I had to take him to the vet so that it can be cured. I suggest building your own cage so that you know what you want and how you want it done. If you don't want to waste to much money, you can use old dressers or closets that you no longer need and build them into a cage.

I agree build a cage. You have a snake not a fish! But if you have a price limit dont go crazy building the cage. I have spend over 300 building my cage but it is awesome.

Re: Where can I find cheap tanks??

be patient, one mans garbage is another mans treasure. You need a new one, and someone else needs the cash. Idk where you live, but keep an eye out in your local classifieds, you may find just what your looking for, and you can haggle the price because if its up on craigslist or something, you can be sure he needs the cash.
