Everyday Items.

I have a fellow herpper I just sold my kings to let me contact him to see if he has something in his collection, he might be willing to part with. I’ll let you know.

Just corn or hognose?

it also depends on how much also for them.

Im glad that I found something that I dont believe is in this list and Im happy to help with ideas... I used a caprisun box. I shortened the box so that it would fit for the width of my 20 gal tank. that gives me a window to watch her and I put a bigger hole on the side where the handle is so she can go in and out there and then I cut an extra hole up top for her. Its stong and I have plenty cause my daughters drink these all the time. Pheobe loves it.

Also what I coulda told you about before and didnt realise it was for my water dish for her I use one of those tv dinner containers that is that doesnt have the sections in it. I have a cpl of those and i wash them over and over cause ther easy to wash ( not dishwasher safe) but thats ok it dont take long to clean. plus ur not spending a lot and Pheobe is able to go all the in with whole body and still move. She likes it a lot. Always swimming in it.

Just had a litter of babies and was worried about the security of the lid on my 10gal, even with clips. Seemed like there was still a lot of play. So I went to wal-mart and got some foam window weather striping for $3 and put it around the inside edge of my tank lid. The clips compress it down like a gasket so there is no gap. I'm hoping this keeps all the wigglers from exploring to far.

Yep, I use the ones from Mac & Cheese (full dish). Reusable when you wash them, but still disposable. Good dimensions on it.

When I want to give mine some exercise and let him explore I take him to the middle of our carpeted staircase and let him crawl up and down them... He loves it He just keeps going up up up and then back down down down :P

He might be nervous about it and doesn't know where to go, because all he sees are the steps. I don't really know, though. Runt hates water and when I give her a bath, there's a dry side and a side filled with a bit of warm water. She paces around the tub, wet and dry trying to find a way out. I only really put her in the tub when she's near shed, because she has the tendency to retain, or be patchy.

Id never reccommend doing that stuff with a snake, until he's calm, not musking/pooping, etc...

[J@50n]

He seemed happy, when he got to either the top or bottom he didn't try slithering away...

Many people recommend using the stairs to exercise more sedentary snakes who tend to get overweight easily. Our garters don't usually have that problem, but as long as the snake is safe and you're watching him carefully I don't see a problem with it.

[RedSidedSPR]

Just sayin, I'd "tame" him before doing anything potentially stressful.
