i went with a terrarium just because of the ability to see in all the time and see the snake. im having no problems maintaning temperature, humidity is a little bit of a pain though. i will definitely switch over to a tube once little Gustav grows and is ready for something bigger!

Being that I live in Florida...that's super easy. By heated, I just mean the air conditioner vents are closed. Now, if ever it gets cold...I open those vents and turn the heat on. As to humidity, I'm good there too. I don't actually need to spray when there are no heat lamps on as my humidity in every tank is usually 55-58%. Again...FLORIDA. If you do not live in Florida, maintaining a tank will not be as easy for you. But it is doable. With regular spritzing, damp towels and possibly heat lamps during winter in addition to your UTH on a thermostat, you'd probably be just fine. It's just a little more work.
i can agree with that, i live in Michigan(far from favorable python conditions lol) and at first it was tough getting my heat pad and lamp adjusted correctly to keep the right temperature, but now they are nice and consistent. the only thing i have to do is mist a bit of moss on the inside once a day, and mist some paper towel i have on the screen top a few times a day to maintain the humidity. im a college student so i really dont have that busy of a schedule, so i dont mind the "housekeeping"
