I've only been using tubs/racks since I learned about them a few years ago and they sure make life easier. The 17 years before that though I used glass aquariums almost exclusively(had an old neodesha I got with a rescue and bought a vision in the 90s). Living in Florida like Randy I never had an issue keeping humidity up(it helps that I don't run central air) and for the few species that required super humidity a moist hide worked fine. One thing I always had for my terrestrial aquarium snakes though was super deep substrate. I'd fill an aquarium over halfway with aspen and they'd tunnel all over and create their own hides/security. With the caging options available today there's really no need to use fish aquariums but I still utilize some of those relics of my past that're laying around, more than one way to skin a cat ya know.
