So for $60 dollars I purchased a 40 gallon tank, few packs of bedding, hides, 2 thermometers, and climbing equipment on Craigs list (KILLER DEAL)
I'm in the market for buying my FIRST snake, a fire ball python (male) for those who care. I'm not a breeder. I just want it as a pet.
Buying a baby, and I was planning on buying a glass pane to seperate the tank into 2 20gallon sides, one for the snake, and the other for the supplies and stuff. Until he grew up of course.

I didn't know much about the humidity, and I've been studying for weeks. I don't know how it just didn't come up until now.
JUST found out about plastic tubs, but dammit they look so ugly.
I KNOW I KNOW, the whole "it's what your snake wants" argument, it's just so n0n-presentable. I'm an orderly kind of guy, so it really bugs me how unprofessional it looks.

Did I make the mistake on buying the cage?
AND should I go to tub?
How effective is the wet towel over the mesh top? I work 8 hours a day 5 days a week, so depending on how much I'd have to switch the towel out. Maybe insulate the sides? something like that?

Kinda bummed on how honestly (dumb) weird it'll look with a snake in tupperware in my room.
Any thoughts? Should I suck it up?
