I thought I would update, got carpet laid in the room where the snake is housed, moved him into a 10g and some fish (they needed the room) into the 20 gallon the snake lived in. Built a custom stand and the top just needs the aquarium to be finished. The bottom contains my 2 fish tanks, top will hold the garter enclosure. The tank measures 5X2X2 ft, 150 gallons if I used water in it. Got the bottom and 3 sides in, top and front will be done hopefully tommorow. Any idea if carpet can be used as the substrate? We got some leftover carpet so I wonder if I can use it to save money. I've already put 150$ into building supplies etc.
