Found a really cool tank today

Goint to play "musical cages"

My corn snake is in a 20 tall, he has outgrown that, so I will use this for him, then clean out the 20 tall and move my adult flame (Masubius) to the 20 tall, then use her 20 long for my 2010 babies..

Sounds like a plan. I did kind of the same thing in my big snake room. I moved all my non-garters to the small snake room and put them in breeder tanks.
This way the big room is "Garter Heaven"

I'll measure it and post.. Still need to clean it up, it's a heavy tank.

It's funny that people born in the era of "all glass aquariums" aren't even aware that back in the day, tanks were extremely heavy and held together by heavy metal frames. One would never dare to make the glass thinner or have glass bottoms. Today it's all thin glass and just a plastic frame at top and bottom.

To find an intact heavy, metal framed tank these days is rare. When I was a kid, that's all we could get. Like these. And they were very expensive compared to todays tanks. You had to be pretty well off to afford even a modest aquarium.

I grew up with tanks like that- they are amazingly strong and resistant to corner bumps, but Leaks were always a big problem. Resealing seams taht developed leaks was a real nightmare. Modern sealers are truly amazing in retrospect.

I've seen Victorian tanks framed in decorative cast iron work with relatively small viewing panels. Gorgeous but probably a real pain to maintain.

Figured out how to get a top on it, I'm going to use plywood and drill the top frame to allow small machine screws to bolt the top on.

If I cut a door into the plywood, I can install hinges and a lock, should turn out great.
