There are a lot of ways to save money too.

Those plastic pet food bowls with the openings on the side make great double duty water bowl/hides. and as a plus, in the summer, the snake can coil up under the water bowl where it is cooler.

empty paper towel tubes are interesting to snakes, they will explore / hide inside it and crawl all over it, best of all they are free.

I pick up dome lamp fixtures at home depot/Lowe's and wal mart for $5-$7 and just use an ordinary 40 watt bulb.

Good luck with your new snake.

One thing to note, this time of year nearly all adult females are gravid (pregnant) and bear litters of many live babies.

look to the left, that blue bowl was $1 at dollar tree.

Could this also cause her to not eat? Im lost on the shedding and brumation subjects figure ill figure it out as it goes. hmmmm its exciting but a bit intimidating haha what a new experience that would be.
Ill stop by a few places then see whats looking the best, kind of a bummer I don't have one of those bowls on hand but I do have some paper towel tubes, thanks for the tip!

Wayne,
Do they make a shorter version of those feed/water dished.
Pulling double duty, I like that idea.

You can't really tell the ages of wild snakes, they can be old and small, or young and large depending on the food available, or just they're own body's rate of growth.

I got the name idea from Aqua Teen, in the episode meatwad was supposed to get a bunny but got a snake (im going to assume anaconda) and so shake stapled bunny ears to the head which royally made the snake angry but it was cute and adorable kinda like the little guy so it stuck I love horses!

And thanks Kibakiba, ill just assume a teenager then :]

I have one more question. Im going to be getting a glass tank soon, probably a 10-15 gallon so there's plenty of room for Bunny to do her snakey stuff. For now im using a clear plastic tub. Im juggling ideas for a lid that doesn't involve destroying the good lid to the tub. you think a metal screen would be okay, and then fixing the heat lamp inside it till i can get a even more permanent home?

I'm too old to know about these things

Look around in dollar stores and value shops. I find all varieties including doubles.

Don't worry about a heat lamp really, In the summer the ambient air temps in your house is all the heat you need.

Confining any substantial bulb in hot weather can raise the temperatures in you cage to unsafe levels.

Sounds like all great advice. Do you have any pictures of her
