    Hmm, turning a tub into a display cage?

    Well I was just looking at some ideas for my Dumeril's permanent home and I just possibly had a great idea, maybe lol

    We all know how awesome tubs are for holding humidity, ease of cleaning, etc. I want those same advantages of a tub but I also want to see my snake since she's going to be nice and big, it would just be nice to see her without having to disturb her. I would use the Iris Ve-175 rack for this which is 52''x20"x14"
    I planned on buying an animal plastics cage, which I can still easily do if this plan isn't a good idea, but here's my idea.

    Could you cut the middle of the tub out (on the long side) and replace it with glass/plexiglass? I would not cut the top or sides of the tub so not to mess with the integrity and strength of the tub, just cut a rectangle out in the middle. I would then build a 1 tub rack out probably out of melamine and leave one side open, but have strong support on each end. So basically a imagine a 1 tub rack with one side missing, but about a 6" piece in front to hold the front together.
    So basically a 1 tub rack with a viewing window.
    What do you guys think?
