PVC cages or tubs tend to offer more security and are heated through heat mats/tape or radiant heat panels which doesn't suck the humidity out or be as much of a fire/burn risk as a lamp.
So, where is a good place to get the PVC cages? As I said previously, I plan on upgrading and when I do I want it to be right so I have a healthy and a non disgruntled snake. I hear so many different things from so many people too. The lady I spoke with at the exotic pet store said that tanks are fine but to use heat tape. The whole theory behind the tank that I like is being able to see him but as you said, you don't see them a lot which I'm seeing this now. After I fed him, he went under the rock and hasn't moved since. Which, I want to handle him but I know to leave them alone for 2-3 days after feeding.
