Suitable Enclosure for a BP

[Sonny1318]

My experience exactly. Why buy a terrarium that you'll only need for a year or so? Besides, an empty enclosure is a dangerous thing to have. They demand to be filled!

I have a 170g male BP in a well cluttered Animal Plastics T8. My little guy loves those cardboard paper towel tubes. I toss a few in along with all his other hides and he's fine. He won't leave the tube for anything, anything but a mouse that is!

To the OP, the terrarium you link to is fine for size, probably, but you'll have a hard time with humidity and glass is lousy in general.

Everyone thinks that the glass aquarium style looks nice, but when all is said and done, and you have it working correctly, it looks like hell. You end up with three sides blacked out, a wet towel on top, some fire hazard of a heating element sticking awkwardly out the top, wires everywhere. I could go on.

What really looks best is a proper PVC enclosure designed for reptiles. A larger one than the one linked to costs the same (albeit plus shipping), and looks nice, slick, and is self contained when all set up.

Or maybe it might not look so bad.
