If you want to display your snake, most manufacturers that make racks also make plastic cages. They hold heat and humidity well and if you get more snakes later they are stackable. (Except the Neodeshas that need a rack) As was said, BPs usually hide all day anyway. I have my Carpets in display cages because they hardly ever hide and my BPs in tacks. Lots of good insight in this thread. I too wish I knew about their extended fasts. I could have saved some money and a lot of worry, too.
