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'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.

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