    Looking for New Terrarium
    I have a BP about around a year old now in a 40 gal tank and is starting to gain size but when I go to handle him it gets irritating taking the lights then top off. I'm looking for front opening terrariums to which is easier and all around looks cooler. I was wondering if anyone knew any good websites or stores where I could get a nice size terrarium for cheap?

    http://allreptiles.ca/ has Atasuki terrariums with front-opening sliding doors. And kijiji.ca is a good place to find second-hand tanks at a discount, like this one:

    I love the exo-terra tanks. The good is they look great and come with the rock background and are very secure. they come with the wire channels in the back to hide any wires going into the tank. and they have double swinging doors. open one to feed, or open both to clean. the drawbacks, they are not cheap, but i got mine on sale at pet smart i saved about 75$ with the sale and a cuepon. they are heavy, and you might have to use a fogger for bps in the winter when humidity is low. They are not perfect, but if you want to show off your babies like i do they can really be made beautiful. The size i have for my bp is 48 x 18 x 18 high.

    Vision, Animal Plastics, showcase, are highly regarded. APs are basic, but hold heat and humidity FAR better than Glass. I really like a buddies showcase cage, fantastic design and quality, looks amazing too. I have the same Exo Terra as Blue roses, looks great, functions well, secure, but has some limitations. The background is foam, and can get gouged and scratched by anything with claws, or a snake pushing around rough decorations. The screen top only works with smaller single or dual fixtures, and lets a lot of humidity out. I covered mine with plastic, and it keeps temp and humidity better, but nowhere as good as a plastic cage. I added a fogger for winter, and piped it through the top, the screen panels are supposedly stainless steel, but it rusted a hole after a couple months, so had to replace that panel with fiberglass screen

    "For cheap"

    You may want to look into used caging. People are in and out of this hobby frequently and you could find a very good deal looking at classified adds.

    As mentioned, the above cages are good options you could also look at Boaphile, and Constrictors NW makes Pro-Line cages.

    I have Pro-Line cages and they are single door, front opening cages.

    I will house our royal in the top cage 48" x 24 x 14" when the coastal carpet moves into a larger enclosure. It's more than adequate for a 4+ foot royal.

    I think you have a good chance of finding a used plastic cage on E-Bay or maybe a member here is selling something.

    If you go with Animal Plastics, buy a decent sized cage with a divider and you could add another snake!!
