Re: worth the money?

I actually just came across the ad that was in a previous replay and noticed that it mentioned some of the distributers, Dino reptiles is said to carry them witch would be very convenient because they are only about a 45 minute drive from where I live. Thanks.

As far as I know they are no longer carrying them. They might have some left but I believe that they wil no longer be getting any in. That was the last I heard anyways, and they have been removed from the Dine Reptiles website.

They still carry them. I just purchased a pair of 4 footers off Norm, he had about 15 of them ready for sale.

Re: worth the money?

i have been digging around, and i think practicality has pushed me to racks, found a guy who does racks big enough for the biggest BP and kingsnakes for 5 racks for $280 or a 10 rack for $500.

Re: worth the money?

So why the sudden change in the space you plan to provide?

Re: worth the money?

price, i was looking at paying $750 plus delivery for 3 unheated unlit PVC tanks, or 280 for a 5 adult sized bin rack which is pre-run with heat tape. that was just too much money to pay to show off.

Re: worth the money?

I see this as a sad step backwards. If you feel that you should provide something for an animal then you back down because of money I think you should step back and reevaluate.

Re: worth the money?

im not stepping backwards for the animal, it seems generaly accepted that most terestrial snakes prefer the enclosed environment, its better for their health with the more controlable climate as well, easier to keep the tanks clean too. if anything the large tanks are a vanity item for ME rather than the snakes.

and its not just about saving money, its about saving a LOT of money, going from housing costs of $300 an animal to about $60

Re: worth the money?

So basically you are doing this so YOU can get MORE animals.

Do you truly think its fair to keep a 3.5 snake in a 27" tub for life?

neat, you managed to assume 3 things in one sentence, good job.

the size of the snakes im keeping, the size of the bins in the rack (they are 36x18x6) and the assumption its for life for everything i ever get.

im seriously getting sick of this, one minute people are recomending racks as a perfectly valid option, the next im getting chewed out for taking the suggestion

Re: worth the money?

Well although I will not harp on you for the change of heart, I also agree that if it isn't about the money then I would go with the display cages. They cost more of course but you will enjoy them more as well. When you enjoy your pet more, you will do the little extras that take them from surviving to living. The reason some might give you some flack is because you started talking about buying them mansions and now your going with the trailer. I would also reevaluate to be sure you want your sbakes in drawers.

Re: worth the money?

i agree, ideally i would love to give them all a mansion. and maybe at some point i will have the cash to drop $300 on an enclosure for each one. but a few key things to remember, i only have one adult snake and she is staying in her 4 foot tank. plenty of room there. and anything i bring home in the near future will be either a juvenile or hatchling with plenty of room. and finally, i DO want to get some breeding rolling in the next year or so, so im looking into my options for the long term.

at the end of the day though, i either have to decide between spending my budget on tanks i wont be able to afford to fill, or bins i can keep some happy juve's in and watch them grow.

Re: worth the money?

Something to consider, if you have spare spaces in your rack and bring home new snakes, where are you going to put them? You cant put them into the rack due to quarantine needs.
