Whataya think? should I buy this? looks great and could make a good brumating fridge.

Keep in mind, the link will eventually be no good so I'll just say what it is. it's a "rockstar" energy drink mini-fridge with a glass front and shelf inside. Pretty cool, so to speak.

seems pricey for the size

It does. I really want something with a glass front like that though and it needs to be small since I already have a 55 gallon long, 2 20 gallon, and a 10 in my bedroom. I suppose it doesn't have to be so "cool" as to be a Rockstar fridge but I thought it was pretty sharp. One of those little soda fridges you see at checkout at the grocery store will do just fine. I'll keep looking.

Another drawback may be the inability to adjust the temp. Many of those small fridges are pre-set to a certain temp.
Might be something to check in to before you by. I'd offer $75 or less.

Yeah, they did mention it "doesn't get very cold" As far as temp goes, I can put it on a thermostat with remote probe which will cut power when it reaches a certain minimum, and turn it back on at a certain maximum.

I've always brumated my snakes in the garage or cold room cut off from the rest of the house, but if you're going to get serious about breeding, a small fridge is a must have.

Funky lil' fridge but actually I'm jealous of the way you're able to do it now. I have a big fridge just for brumating and I wish I was able to use a garage or cold room instead.

I would think that if you're going to get serious about breeding, you'd need a much larger fridge

Well, I don't plan on having all that many snakes. I will only be breeding a couple pairs of concinnus and a few years from now, I'll be breeding Amy to another iowa albino het for snow.
