I've seen grow tents used as enclosures for large lizard species and always thought it was a pretty decent and cost effective way to house a reptile that needs a large space, but I haven't seen practically any examples of them being used for large snakes. I have a small female BCI boa that's currently in a 2 x 4 x 2 wooden enclosure but that's as large as I think I can manage as far as building my own enclosure, and any pre-made enclosure that's much larger is pretty pricey from what I've seen. I'd like to move my girl to something around 3 x 6 x 3 once she gets to be around 5 - 6 feet and a grow tent that size is pretty affordable, usually under $200 which sounds great to my wallet. So far from the research I've done the pros are:

- Very affordable
- Made to be climate controlled (holds temperature and humidity well)
- Easy to clean
- Lightweight, easy to move and store since they fold up
- Safe to use with heat bulbs (since some grow lights get very hot)

I feel like these pretty handily outweigh the cons which are:

- Generally not very pretty to look at
- Concerns with durability, which I feel would be less of a problem with snakes since they don't have claws
- Escape Concerns? From what I've seen though this can be pretty easily managed by sealing the vent holes

Does anyone have anything else to add to this? I'm really leaning toward this option when my girl gets to be an adult and I'm curious as to how many other people have considered this and why someone would choose not to use them.
