What type of enclosure do you have?

All those are nice..... I house mine in sterilite tubs.... But then again I have about 40 garters at this time (and will be getting more.....and more......lol!)

Thats why I am selling off all my corns and most of my kings. When I first got into reptiles I always said I was not going to be one of those guys that keeps his snakes in drawers. I wanted them to be out on display. Well, with 100+ snakes displaying them all would be impractical (for me at least) so into the drawers they went. After a couple of years of basically keeping and not enjoying the snakes I decided to get rid of most of them and concentrate on fewer snakes so I could display them in cages. Actually my 6 garters are in 9" round deli containers right now and I even like them better than than the tubs.

Mind you, I am not opposed in the least to keeping snakes in tubs. There is nothing at all wrong with it, it's just not something I want to do. I know it is neccesary sometimes and that is fine.

I keep my newt in a 10 gallon, anole in 45/35 (nobody knows) tall, my garter in a 15/20 (they're all my dad's old tanks; he didn't even know they were in the garage still!), and my praying mantis (which eats pinkies ) in a big plastic thing they sell at petco with the handles.

I totally understand. I think most people would rather display their animals if they had a choice. Sometimes we do things out of necessity and that's the way it has to be.
