Rubbermaid vs. Glass tank

    If you like to display ( as I do ) then glass all the way.
    You can have your husbandry just as good in a glass tank it just takes a few days to get it worked out, but once you know and do then it's smooth sailing from there.
    I switched my one bp to an Animal Plastics and it is great for display and husbandry.
    It's all in what you want/like/afford!

    You can't beat Rubbermaids/Sterlites for ease of care. Glass tanks are good for colubrids since they don't have the strict humidity and temperature requirements that pythons do. I do admit though, that I can't stand the thought of putting my male water python in plastic. I love to watch him, and he's my favorite of all our snakes, so I'll struggle with getting everything just right in his glass tank.

    There are some nice rubebrmaids sold at home-de-pot that are designed to roll under the bed for storage. These are great for Bps who do not like to climb, as they are short in height and do not take up unnecessary vertical space. BUT I warn you that the lids need to be secured where they bend in the center, since they do not latch down that good.

    I'll be going out to Home Depot, Lowes and Wal-Mart in about an hour, and I'll see what each one has. Luckily they're competing with eachother or something and they're all literally right next to one another.. Thanks for all y'all's help! :-D

    BOA question
    I didn't understand any of that... but I bought my 116 QT Sterelite container, should I let it sit out in the sun or something, to get all the plastic fumes out? I washed it down pretty good with soap and water, and then rinsed it with the hose a couple times... Should this be enough?
