What is the big DEAL ABOUT USING GLASS TANKS?

[luvmyballs]

This is true but lets face it if you are new you may do something wrong and with a glass tank you give yourself more of a chance to do so.

????huh. You can still burn a snake in a tub or glass or any tank. If your new do some research. If you don't research proper husbandry and do something stupid like running unregulated flexwatt you don't deserve a snake. A responsible snake owner will do plenty of research before they ever bring an animal home.
