Hello everyone. I'm fairly new when it some to reptiles and could use some advice from the community.
I currently own a Vietnamese Blue Beauty rat snake named Twitch (not sure on the sex but it shakes its tail like a rattle snake when "she's" pissed off). She has shed twice since i bought her with the first being 2' 4" long and the second being 3' 1" inch. Given her growth its time to get started on her new tank and here is what i'm thinking:
4' L x 4' H x 2' D
Acrylic
Make the front a door for access
Screen lid with wooden stand below/above to hid lighting/misters
I was also thinking about buying an extra sheet to make a water section for drinking/bathing.
What i don't know is what i should go with for heating? Acrylic supplier? Thickness of the acrylic? And any tips you might have from your own builds. I attached a photo that is identical to what i was thinking (except for the $1000 price tag)
