Emergency..Broken terarium

[Helix Newton]

Hello everyone!

I need help,I accidently broken my snakes terrarium beyond repair,the snake is alright, thankfully she was in her hiding place,but now I don't know where to put her until I get a new one,help please!

plastic tub with holes drilled through for ventilation. A lot of people keep their snakes in plastic tubs even on a permanent basis so she'll be fine.
If you don't mind my asking, how'd it break?

**edit** If she is small I used to put my snakes in large tube socks if it was only on a very temporary basis (ie cleaning tanks or travelling), or larger snakes would fit in a pillow case. If you're going today to get a new tank (like within the next hour or two) she should be fine in either of those! You could leave her in the sock/pillow case in her old tank (unless there is broken glass or something) or somewhere else to hold her. I probably wouldn't do this unless you have somebody at home to keep an eye on her though, just in case.

Do you have any plastic tubs, like a sterilite or Rubbermaid? You can put her in there with a heat mat on a thermostat until you get a new one. Just make sure the lid is secure, put some heavy books or something on it, bungee cords around it, just some way to keep it closed good.

Thanks for fast replay,is this setting good?



I put her in my desk drawer

Ok,so I forgot about the hole,but I don't think she could get thrue,jst some fresh air

Keep an eye on her and look into replacing her home ASAP

Trust me if her head can fit through her hole body can! Unless you know where that hole leads to I would opt for the laundry bag. You can tie a knot in the top of the bag and feel secure that she will be there when you get back. Add a 40 hour heat pack in the drawer and she and you are good!

Id go with the pillow case or a tub, just like Albert said a heat pack would be a good idea! Best of luck with the new cage post some pics!

Also how did you break the tank?

Thank you guys for fast replays,I had a hangover from drinking the night before and was still a little bit tipsy,when I tripped on the couch and smashed the terrarium with my palm,fortunately the snake and me wore alright. I've put a litle termopad in her temporal closet for now,still looking around to find appropriate and affordable terrarium tho

Walmart, Target, ShopKo, the grocery store, etc... Lol. Just about any place will have cheap plastic tubs/totes that you can drill holes in that will work.
