So I'm researching what is the best (many definitions to this) living arrangement for our first 2 or 3 BP's. I'm reading the +'s and -'s for wood, plastic, glass and it gets pretty confusing. Now the misses has dissed the tub arrangement as she (not educated at all with snake husbandry) is convinced that is a cruel way to house a pet. Although she was a bit interested with the tubs that have a clear side to them (does anyone have these?). Anywho I'm trying to obtain anything and everything I need well in advance of their arrival. My first inclination is a couple of 10gl and one 20gl flat aquarium. I can easily cover 3 sides with the front open for visibility. And it seems pretty affordable. I would like someday to have some of the really nice enclosures that seem to run near $200 and up but to start off with are probably not necessary until my boys show that they are really into snakes. Any advice is appreciated.
