Petco $1 per gallon sale?

[Loren]

Ok, I'm back from petco. I had to go to 2 of them to get my 11 new 20 long tanks.
I can finally finish of the shelving unit I built that holds 20 of these, and upgrade a bunch of growing snakes to larger tanks.

[Snake lover 3-25]

wow.... that's quite a tower of tanks!!!!

[GartersRock]

Yuuuummmmyyyyy...... *drool* Thanks for the pick!

[infernalis]

That's a heap of glass

Going back and getting another load tomorrow.

The little 5.5 tanks are really great for feeding and neonates.

I set one up for the baby Dekayi's and it works great for them.

Wiping out the last of the 20 longs....

The 29 gallons are great for climbers like ribbon snakes.

Going to go mail order for screen lids, 20 bucks a whack is steep.

Maybe I'll just custom cut plywood, then I can mount a fluorescent light under the lid

[Loren]

I'll be making my own lids. Lots of work, but I just dont like petstore lids. Not secure enough for me. plus, the way I arrange my tanks makes the rear of the tank hard to reach, so clips dont work too well.

[Garter_Gertie]

Loren, are you in a relationship? Do you want to be?

You LUCKY DOG! To be able to afford all those tanks! My knees grow weak just looking at them. Oh, how I envy you!

Dekay, I get the Four Paws tank lids. For a ten, I think they're like $7.XX bucks +/-. The Zoo Meds are no different, but WAY MORE. I like my tank tops - they can hold Sly who has to weigh about 20/25 pounds.

[Garter_Gertie]

OHMYGOD! I just did the math and that's $220 JUST FOR TANKS!

Man. I need a Sugar Daddy.

[Garter_Gertie]

I picked up today, from craigslist, a 10 gal and stand for $20. A steal. The tank *does* have a crack - but not broken yet - in one corner of the bottom pane so I picked up some silicone to seal both sides (and will put the heater and 'hot spot' at the other end). Yeah. I could have gotten a new one at Petco for $10 bucks, but he wouldn't sell just the stand and I really need the stand.

So. Now I can seperate Kenabec and Niizh (The Hoggies) and get a Petco 10 gal for a baby Eastern milk snake I hope to get! But still need to get all the stuff to put with the tank for the Eastern milk.

I'm gettin' there!

[Loren]

Yep, its a chuck of change, but the lids will cost almost nothing (the wood was free), and when you consider what normal terrariums with lids cost (50$ each?), its a steal. Then, if you look at custom cages, you are talking 220. each.

I already have the shelving in place. I already have the heat in place. Have for quite some time actually.

I need a sugar momma, personally. Preferably before the credit card bill shows up.

Unfortunately when I search "22-30 year old Christian Reformed nurse that loves reptiles" on the dating sites, I dont get any matches.

[Garter_Gertie]

Well. Thought we could work something out. Guess snot.

NOT 22-30 - if I had furless KIDS that would be THEIR ages. Snot a nurse and not Christian Reformed. Not reformed from enkneethang and getting witchier and less reformed as I get older. (sigh)

Tell you what... I'll keep my eyes and ears open for you iffin' you'll do the same for me. Deal?
