Thanks for the nozzle first you buy a bulkhead:

then drill a hole and screw in bulkhead with gasket on inside of tub. Next buy an appropriate slip female threaded adapter:

Next get some thread sealer and teflon tape to add to the threads of the gate valve and screw into female adapter.

Thanks Tammy I can't wait either. My fiance Rachel is such an artist she really has out done herself this time. As long as the faux rock waterfall works out nicely this will be a fantastic cage.

Thanks.
Hopefully she will get big enough there will be no room for any stores or stations.

[seamushunter]

wow!!! you are a hard worker im sure precious will feel very precious in her new cage!

[razeraze]

My fiance builds the cage I help out with the husbandry advice and animal research to be specific to their needs. My fiance is an insane artist who is very specific, so despite me being a construction worker she will not let me touch the cages.

hey tom can you take a pic of the setup completed, i think i got the just of it.

you just attach a nozzle with a valve on the outside of the bowl then and then attach a hose.

[razeraze]

The cage will not be finished for a while, but the tub is finished.
You then just attach a hose and a pony pump and drain it.

[pythonguy21]

[razeraze]

Google it, it siphons water out they use them for aquariums all the time.

nice im going to get a green anaconda may of 2010 woot. after graduation.

i want to build him a huge cage. im going to build a wooden bottem to the cage on wheels right that will be 8 feet long by 3 feet wide with pumps and filters in it then i will build her land part of her cage on top of the water part that slides out with a sliding trap door that will shut off the top part to the water part so i can pull the huge water tank out for cleaning if it ever needs to be

something like that i definitly want my conda to be able to submerge as an adult in water. so im thinking of plans now so im not caught off gaurd in the future.

[TammyJ]

Good for you for planning ahead. I am sure the anaconda would not be too happy to be caught off-guard either.

This is a fine example of proper planning for responsible herping!

Good luck.
