    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    Hey, great find. You do have the luck of the Irish.

    I have had glass cut in an octagon before and not as expensive as you would think and if that the only expense you have for a habitat … not bad my man.

    Re: Dumpster diving

    What good friends I have. Look what got delivered to my house today. 4' long, 2' tall and 2' deep. This display case is going to work great. It has a false bottom in it. I'm going to cut a large hole in the first bottom and put a deep container in it. Providing plenty of swimming area. The back, where the sliding doors are will be secured. The glass top will be replaced with a removable screen top. The lighting is already installed and other then using some silicon to secure a few areas it's ready to go. The only drawback is the fact it could have taken first place in the "Hernia Derby" this year. Not something I'll be moving around a lot. A true show of friendship is when they do the dumpster diving for you. Any suggestions would be great. I have never used a display case before. The best part? it was free

    Re: Dumpster diving

    It has a double bottom with about 8 inches between them. I'm going to give my snakes a swimmng pool that has a drain hose attached. For heat I'll run thermo wire and a dimmer switch. I'll post as it progresses.
    Removed the shelving materials and secured the back. Going to watch a little Super Bowl and then finish the screen top.
