I was going to get an open from front enclosure and was going to cover all the sides except the opening like I've seen in a few threads here. Figured that would help them feel more secure. And while I do want a more active snake like a boa, I don't think it's for me just starting out and plus they get huge so not sure if that's the type of snake for me being a first timer to the snake world. Still going to talk to the guy tomorrow to get some more information from him and what not before I actually make a decision.
