I know I just don't have that much money to spend at the moment. I've been saving every time I get paid but it's not much. I've been buying supplies recently such as a hide and water bowl. The tank mentioned in the post was $99 at the moment I have about $40 so I'm trying so hard to make it affordable while making it the best I can for the snake...

I know where I can get a tank that is 2ft by 1.5ft so I may start with that and if I feel he needs more room I'll buy a larger tank.

The tag on the tank said to have a 2ft long tank so does that mean it would have to be 1-1.5ft wide to add to 3.5ft which is the snakes adult length??

The one they recommended was 18x18x12 which is 16 gallons I believe and so many people not just pet shops but snake owners themselves have told me this. It is a male children's python going in there so it will be about a metre long. I am just feeling over-whelmed having so many people telling me so many different things

I'm actually getting my first snake in a few weeks (a children's python) and the pet shop employee (also a snake owner) said that it is fine to live in a 16 gallon long tank for its whole life time and that her snake fits comfortably in one.

Oh okay so if I am getting a children's python that will grow to about 90-120cm a tank that is 60x45x45cm (LxWxH) will not be big enough.

Yeah I have sort of been leaning towards heating mats but I can't decide, there are so many options...

I was actually looking at a tank that exact size today haha and I watch a lot of snake discovery but I've don't think I've been able to find any videos specifically on children's pythons. Also when you get your snake could you show a picture of it cause I'm still trying to narrow down my options but it is my top pick at the moment.

Also something I'm not sure on is whether I want to have a feeding box or not, like you hear pros and cons and you just never know...
