Glass or Plastic?

At an art supply store in the framing department. The plexiglass you can get at any hardware store. They will even cut it to your dimensions.

Any decent craft store will have it in a variety of colors. Michael's or Hobby Lobby or whatever they have in your area.

We use plastic exclusively for the ball pythons we own and just love it. It keeps their temps and humidity bang on and they seem to do so well in the low tubs. Our milksnake and BCI's are in glass enclosures. They don't stress as easily as the BP's and don't have quite the strict requirements so seem to be fine in glass though we give them lots of hides and deep bedding to hide/burrow around in so they don't feel overly exposed. The glass enclosures are harder to maintain though, especially when they are in shed and the humidity needs to be pushed up a bit. They are also much heavier and harder to clean but it is nice to have a few snakes more "on display" around the house.

Thanks, ya'll. I got some foam core today and covered 3 sides of the tank. I used contact paper on the screen, though, as I just wanted some solutions that will help until I can switch to a plastic tub in 2-3 weeks.
I may get some other reptile to keep in the glass tank when that happens.
