Judy has a good point, especially if West Virginia has looser laws about snake ownership than Georgia (it must because I understand only Cali has tighter regs). I like the Sterilites, but I am partial to boids and to bp's in particular and can't legally own a lot of colubrids. I did get my cousin to cover the tank and place the digital thermo/hygrometer properly for good readings, but unfortunately I can't be there all the time to supervise her husbandry.
