I have seen a few pics on google of ppl with glass tanks for a bp and they have the heat light half over the tank so the side is geting heat on it. Now yes you can keep a bp in a glass tank and I may be wrong but the op posted asking what the bid deal is. So to me they are asking about it all /hot glass/glass cracking/humidity/heat transfer/cleaning/and so on.
Now I'm worried!

Are you suggesting that the next time it snows in my house my heat lamps could make my tank explode?


I think you are going alittle far with this. There is just as many things that can go wrong in a pvc cage or a tub that can with a glass tank.

Tubs and pvc are just easier to keep the desired numbers steady. You can still get them wrong.


I just can't wait to get the pvc cages I ordered, I'm entering week 10!
