I do want this to be a display tank that's for sure. This is my only snake and probably will be for awhile because I have to many pets! But I love having views be natural and everything.

So when you say replace mesh with plexi and turn on side, do I have to turn on its side or can I just glue the plexi to the inside trim and have it be up like normal?

I want to do everything right for this snake so I'm trying get everything writing down then buying.
