Need a used tank!!!

MightyPython Jan 06, 2005 06:20 AM

My snake has seriously outgrown the tank he is currently in and I really don't have the money to buy a new 40 gallon tank like he needs to be put in at this point. Anyway, do any of you guys know of any place that happens to sell used aquariums or tanks? I live in the Pittsburgh area and would like to get something used so I hopefully won't have to spend an arm and a leg for one. I currently have "Chopper" in a 20 gallon and he's at least 3 feet long after the shed he just had so it's starting to get a little crowded in there for him. Anyway, any info. on this would be appreciated! Thank You!

Also take up cruising yard sales. I got a 125 gal tank at a yard sale for $50.

If money is tight run over to the dollar store and get yourself a sterilite (36qt. is the smallest one I would get, around $5.00). I understand an aquarium is more pleasant on your eyes than a sterilte, but it's about what's best for the animal, right? Go get yourself a sterilite and save your money for the aquqrium. That way the snake dosen't have to suffer while you get the money up for the enclosure that you want. In the long run you'll both be happier.

BTW when you get your new aquarium you'll have to get some thing to go into the 20gal. and the sterilite.
