new tank?

Ive been thinkin of gettin a new tank for my BP. Since she is gettin so big i figured she needed more room. What im askin is how do people feel about the Exo-Terra Glass Terrarium 36" L x 18" W x 12" H. Thanks for all feedback.

If you're going to spend the money on a new tank I would recommend a plastic one. They are much easier with maintaining heat and humidity, which in the long run is easier for you and healthier for your snake. Here is a picture of mine. These are Animal Plastic T8 cages. Each T8 is $150. I have heard good things about Boaphile cages as well.

Your setup looks nice. Now if i were to do a setup like that what else would i need to set that up and how? Like i know i would need some flex watt, but ive never used it and dont know how to use it. Plus the lighting setup i just dont understand i whats being used.

I absolutely agree with Commandokev. Check out Animal Plastics enclosures.

Here's a thread on how to setup a PVC enclosure. I'd personally use a RHP (radient heat panel) for ambient heat and call it a day:

You can get the light pre-installed when you order the cage or if you want to get fancy with the lights, here's another thread:

Here's my own setup:

thats a nice setup. i just have questions on the setup. since i have a glass tank im using a heat lamp(hot side) on one side and a UTH (cool) on the other. how do you make a hot and cold side without the lamp. are you just using heat tape for both sides one hotter than the other?
and how would you keep the ambient temps up.

I personally use a RHP (radient heat panel) for ambient heat and heat tape for a hot spot.

thats what i was thinking you were doin. so then have i been settin mine up wrong? with the UTH at about 80-84 through the aspen bedding, and the dome light above the hot side at about 90 not heating the ground on the hot side cause of her hide.

Not at all. That was my exact setup before I went PVC. If you decide to get an Animal Plastic (or any other PVC) enclosure, I'd go the RHP route.
