    10 gallon tank for baby BP?

    I hear that glass tanks are not loved by some but is there any reason I can't keep a baby BP in one for a few months until I have the money to invest in a better enclosure? I plan on making some mods like sealing portions of the screen top to keep the heat inside.. I know the size really isn't the issue but would it be that terrible for the snake? I see a lot of people using tanks. I know that doesn't mean it's okay but I just wanted some feedback on it.. I have a temp gun and plan on getting an UTH and thermostat..

    It will be fine !
    You've already got a good idea of things

    Just put black paper or whatever you prefer to cover the back and side panels - just so it's not quite so open and intimidating for the snake . Once your two hides are in place add fake foliage ( dollar shops) and a few branches or whatever so there isn't too much wide open space .

    Thanks for your reply and suggestion Zinc!! I didn't think about that.. I actually have some black paint I used on my beardies tank that I can use to paint the back and sides..
