    Using a plastic tub

    I see alot of you guys recommending using a plastic tub with a locking lid. I am think i wanna go with this method because of how much easier it is to keep the temp and humidity right and for cleaning. But as of right now i'm only gonna own one BP and wanted to be able to enjoy watching it in its enclosure. Has anyone ever tryed to cut out one of the long sides of the tub and replacing it with a piece of plexy glass? is this a bad idea? I dont wann use a glass tank but i want my sons to be able to see the snake. Any ideas or help would be great.

    I believe in gecko section on this Forum is a tread when one of our User did something similar with tall tub to look at His Cresties... Let me take a look and find it for You

    Ok this is It: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ted-Gecko-Tubs

    Kaorte use mesh here with i dont recommend for ball (humidity and temp loss will be to big) but I believe piece of plexiglass will do nicely...

    I believe that cutting one side to making viewing window is all right... he still will have 3 milky sides and i recommend to use hides to keep him feel secure but i don't see a reason to dont do it.

    You're welcome. I remembered where it was because I thought it was pretty cool.
