Hey how much on average will it coast for everything including the snake and the heating but not the tank. So how

Much does it coast on average with the snake and things that you need to buy buy not including the inclosure

[trtlpmp]

$25 for the light fixture

$20 for the light bulb

$35 for a heat pad

$20 for the hide

$20 for appropriate size water dish

$9 for substrate

Finally enjoying your carpet python...Priceless.

Could you keep one in a tub?

[trtlpmp]

@HamboneV1; If you had the correct heat, substrate and a hide sure you could, but you snake isn't going to be very comfortable. I also wouldn't use that kind of enclosure for any longer than a week. If you're thinking about getting any snake, you really should have proper enclosure. You could live in a 4' ft by 10' ft cell all your life, but it wouldn't be right, nor would you be happy.

I just got a little 1-2 month old coastal x irian jaya a couple days ago, he's about 1'10" or 2' long, he's a real nipper but I haven't fed him yet. Any tips on how to get him used to being handled? He's my first snake so I'm still a little nervous reaching into his tank but apparently I should wait a week before handling him anyways?

Well as I mentioned, any and all pointers would be greatly appreciated. Beautiful snake you have there, he seems very calm and happy, hopefully mine will mellow.

Hey, I have a 55 gallon tall glass tank. Plenty room I assume. But my 5ft IJ keeps trying to push his way out of screen top. I weary of him damaging his nose. A breeder told me cause its mating season. What do you think???
