Hi all - I'm a soon to be ball python owner, and I'm assessing and re-assessing my tank options. I love the look of glass vivs (I'm big into terrarium and vivarium decor!) but fully understand their shortcomings; I'm planning to get a 2 foot wooden viv for my youngster, and when the time comes to get them a new one, I'll reassess at that juncture and see how glass might work when I'm more experienced re: the humidity and heat patterns of my house.

This type of tank is being sold by a friend of mine; they were using it for a corn, so I was wondering if there's anything preventing my using it for a BP? It's height is the only issue I see; though they're not an arboreal species, I know that wouldn't exactly give my snake the option!
Viv is 61 x 38 x 21 cm.

I thought these tanks looked a nice middle ground of the pros of wooden and the pros of glass, but I never see them used for royals and can't figure out why. I was hoping someone could explain their pitfalls to me? (lest I incorporate their pitfalls into my future enclosure!)
