having trouble getting my attachment on the python to fit on my new sink. The sink doesn't have any ridges so i can't screw it on and the bath tube is one of those big mouthed ones. Anyone have any tips on how to modify a python to fit onto a sink without the screwy thingies?
 
Adapter? Hardware store? They do make a product called a "water thief" that is made out of rubber and slides over the faucet on one end, and the other end has a male hose connection. I don't know where to get one though. RV stores used to handle them.

Now that sounds cool...never heard of one of those. Can you run it outside to the water hose outside? I dont know that I ever seen a faucet with out some sort of threads.
 
My sink has reverse threads (on the inside), and my python came with an adapter to fit that onto my python. Go on Dr. Fosters Smith, they carry all the accessories, should run you a whole dollar or two. They also make a quick disconnect that works well.
 
Are you sure there isn't a piece screwed on to the sink already that you could take off to attach the python?

Was going to try but my stupid vice grips were too small to fit the damn thing :( had to fill up a 75 by hand not the biggest tank but it was a pain in the butt cuz i moved and my oscars were sitting in a bucket not looking too hot.
 
I dont use a python mine is just a vinyl hose that fits snuggly over the tap its pretty easy to use and cause of its large diamater it drains and fills really quick.
