    Suggestions for a good tank for an adult BP

    What kinda of housing would you guys suggest for a fully grown BP? I don't really want to get a rack because I only have 1 snake and I'd like to be able to see her.
    Currently I have a 20 gallon tank and I want to equip/plan for the future.

    x2, Animal plastics sell nice enclosures that are good for heat and humidity, and also are vice when you want to see your snake cruising around at night.

    How well would a CHE work with this tank? Doesn't seem like hanging out over it would help.

    If you get screens cut into the top (AP will do this for $15) you can use a CHE with them but there are other/better ways to heat these cages.

    If you hang a CHE over the top without having screens cut it will just melt the cage.

    I also recommend the AP T8 I use them for all of my BP's

    The t8 and rhp sound great but they are a little expensive for me. And cheaper successions?

    Also what's the biggest uth I would need for a full grow BP?
