I can understand you not liking the Sticky tank setup. It is a basic setup with what is essential for BP husbandry. It is not meant to be an eye-candy set up.
I am also a noob and I bought a Critter Cage 20L tank from PetCo. It was priced $55 but they took $20 off when I signed up for their rewards card. There was a similar tank on Amazon for $97 http://www.amazon.com/Zilla-28021-20...s=Critter+Cage
The one I bought from PetCo is identical as far as I can tell only the model number is different.
If you don't like white background, you can purchase wallpapers. (Do a search for "reptile tank background" on Amazon, and you will see plenty of choices.) I bought a wallpaper from a reptile store that was only about 30 miles from where I'm at. Then you can add decorations as you please. Just make sure they don't have sharp edges. Check out my set up - which is far from good, since I am just taking my baby steps. (Since I don't know how to upload pictures on this forum, please see the pictures on my tweet: https://twitter.com/thapaprakash/sta...85435629809664 ) ... but I think you'd get the idea. One mistake I made is that I purchased wallpaper for the back ... I will go back and purchase more from the reptile store for the other sides. Also, i am going without infra red lighting for the time being and just go with ambient lighting. The lamp you are seeing in the picture is for CHE
