    This is sort of off topic I guess, but here goes nonetheless (feel free to move if deemed necessary).
    I'd like to borrow (or buy if price is right) a 60g-ish terrarium, or aquarium, with lid. My friend who was caring for my snakes back in California is moving to Hawaii, so I am going to have them shipped overnight to me. Unfortunately it is fairly last minute, or I would have built something for them. This tank would be extremely temporary, as I plan to build a large enclosure. She has to have them out by the end of the week end, which is roughly the timeline I was looking at to ship them out to me. Unfortunately between school and work I just don't have the time or daylight to bust out the tools and slap something together in time.
    If anyone has anything, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, due to my schedule, it would be best if I didn't have to go much further than Des Moines, in either direction, from Ames.

    I have a 75 that you could just have if you picked it up here in waterloo... it wouldnt be suitable to hold water unless it was resealed and it doesnt have a lid but it is free

    That's a generous offer, but I would have to take the day off of school or work, or both. I also really need something with a lid. These constrictors will easily get out of a container with no lid.

    it is standard 75... 4ft tank i know that when i got it the lower half did hold water but i started cutting out the old silicone to prep it to be resealed so it will definitely need to be sealed before ANY water goes in... but yeah if you want come get it right now it is at crossroads auto sales on washington and hawthorne in waterloo. if you want to call the number here at the office is 319-233-0004

    im actually staying in Cedar Rapids right now so if i do decide i can get it it may be a while before i can come and get it.  It would be a while before i can do anything with it so im debating weather or not i have space for it to sit around for a while. i will get a hold of you and let you know.
