Hello everyone I am new here and new to snake keeping.
I have recently got a Male Hognose Snake that is less than 1 year old he came in a plastic vivarium with a heat mat and some other things. I am just wondering if I could convert my empty fish tank (Dimensions 15" Deep, 12" Wide and 24" long) into a vivarium for the snake.
If I can convert it what sort of heating system would be best and what sort of flooring would be best for the snake.
Thanks Adam Johnson

| i would stick to rubs and wooden vivs, as it can be hard to secure the lid and have enough ventilation x |

| I'd stay away from anything with a glass bottom, as it can get really overheated when you're using a heat mat, and your hoggy could get burnt. I would personally stick with a viv that's specifically designed for snakes, or you can use a RUB as long as you put plenty of ventilation holes in it. |
