Actually,... that 20 or 30 figure was from the point in time that my mother started to try to prevent more. The number actually went well above 60 before I began to rerelease them due to having too many numbers. And the rattlesnake collection was comprised of nearly a dozen different species. I was quite proud of it.
But to answer your question,.... part of my weekly regimine included circulating the city on the weekends and searching yard sales for old or broken aquariums. I would usually get these for 2 to 5 bucks apiece and would take them home and fix them and make snug heavy lids for them and afix a light to them. But yes, my room was nothing but a bed and a billion showcases and aquariums.
And then they started having babies!,... but this is a story for another post.

:20-30 some rattlesnakes? Egads! What did you keep them all in?? I can't help but notice that the enclosures cost more than the snakes sometimes!
