    If you want something larger than two inches across, you may have to go with the hand cutter you hold like a pen, and score the glass that way. I'm sure there are some good YouTubes on that somewhere. I vaguely recall some, but it was a few years ago. I've never scored glass myself, but a smear of machine oil may be called for. This may be THE stumbling block that would make a replacement acrylic/plexi bottom a better choice for BP owners. I would maybe consult with someone at the hard ware store, or a specialized glass store.

    My viv is intended for a pair of male garters, so a two inch diameter will be adequate, even if the snake decides to turn around mid way. Not sure if they would ever do that, but the possibility of getting stuck would concern me with a bigger/stouter snake. In all likelyhood, that is probably a total non issue - snakes slither into tight holes all the time in the wild.
