Habitat - Indoor :: Python question

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Post Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2005 8:55 pm   Python question

So i started using the python,,,it seems to work great.

My only problem/question is that my sink fills up SO FAST. Like i have to put the python on hold every minute so it doesnt overflow....i cant take the stopper out either bc its hooked in annoyingly.


Does anyone have suggestions? thanks!

The only thing I can think of is use a different sink, or find a way to get that plug out of there.

I started using the python a while ago too, and the only problem is that at home, it doesn't fit my sink! Even with the adaptor they gave me it doesn't fit. So at home I have to use a pitcher, but at school, I use the Python.

Anyone know how I can make it work on the sinks at my house?

The python is supposed to fit most (not all) sinks. I think there are other adapters you can buy (check big als or Drs. FosterSmith). Places like Home Depot also might sell them.

it should work with your sink, faucet, it was designed that way, unless you have some special order faucet, if possible can you take a picture of the faucet you are using, I thought I had the same proble whan i first got my phyton but I figured it out. for example you can remove the inner rubber piece http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/pro ... 971;pcid2= or remove the piece from you faucet. I hope you know what I am trying to say. :D

Sometimes when it drains into my sink it does get full, but I watch it and make sure it doesnt.

You could try using a waterbed attacher?

If the sink portion that is filling up has a garbage disposal make sure you run and empty the disposal first. Sometimes material left in there will cause the sink to drain too slow. If you don't have a disposal you may have to check the pipes, might just need a little Draino.
