    The wild Heckels (mine are 5-6") go for $69 - $189.... I paid $50 at a sale.... They are VERY VERY VERY hard to find this particular strain (nobody in VA has any anymore... I have been talking to Animal Jungle for more (where I got mine) and they dont know when they can get more....

    would so bust out the python in a heartbeat...used to do the bucket method on all previous tanks (sore back, water spillage, and wasted hours). Would never go back to buckets!

    Re: What are You Doing That is Tank Related Today?

    My 125 is right next to the sink... I have a 15 foot hose and my siphon makes it to the sink :)

    The 30 is too far from a sink even for a python....

    (I live in an apartment... no hose outlet BUT we have a tip for our kitchen sink that makes it to where we can put a hose on the sink.... so... I still have to vacuum the gravel with a bucket... dont want sand in the garbage disposal.... and my 30, 20 and 55 are in our bedroom upstairs.... no answer for an "easy way" to do those)
