    Eco Earth should be fine if you keep it thin. It can be a pain to clean in this type of cage though. I like the craft paper from www.cageliners.net

    it depends on what type of heat you plan to use, Ecoearth isn't great when used with UTH's/flexwatt, but will be great with a Radiant heat panel. I personally fine it to be a huge mess when dealing with a cage the size you are looking at. most of the time it will be fine but doing a full cage clean out will make you want to rip your hair out.

    I use Corrugated wrap in my PVC cages, it looks great, and is super easy to keep clean.

    Disinfect it with extreme prejudice and mighty chemicals, though, if it housed an animal that got sick and died.

    If you were buying directly from the company i would say AP hands down just bc of the customer service nightmares i have heard of from Boaphile... But since youre getting it used, at what i would assume is a good price, i say go with that. Its cheaper and you wont have to pay shipping costs. There are plenty of people who have used boaphile cages for years with no issues (that im aware of). If it breaks on you, call up AP the next day and get yourself a new one lol...
    Just make sure you THOROUGHLY clean it out if there was a sick snake in there before yours was. Wouldnt want your bp to get sick from it.

    I would definitely clean it well, although I think its previous occupant died from impaction. it seemed like she didn't wanna talk about it much, made her sad. Regardless I'm gonna go with plastic. Thanks everybody
