Humidity and temps are just a nightmare to stabilize. Not to mention trying to clean a huge glass tank by yourself. I'm getting a tub tomorrow. And there is a reptile show in north Houston in two weeks and will be looking for a rack system because I am DEFINATELY getting another snake!

    I've been keeping my snakes in glass for years. No issues. It just takes a little extra effort.
    I've successfully kept multiple species through the years, and never had any issues. Could it be easier? Sure. Is it difficult?? Heck no. It just takes a few extra minutes a day.

    So, before you go bashing glass, maybe have some experience to back it up, or a basis for comparison.
