Judy and Christie are right on about getting your cage setup first. =)

There are two camps here at bp.net: "Glass or plastic?!" to quote from the movie "The Rock", hehe. For those with lots of snakes and/or for the ease of husbandry and the lower cost of the enclosure, many people choose plastic tubs, mainly Rubbermaid or Sterilite (the less expensive off-brand), available from Wal-Mart, KMart, wherever.

Then there is the seemingly smaller crowd of glass vivarium folks, myself included. Glass vivs can be tougher to maintain proper heat and humidity, so you need to be on top of things with their setup and maintenance. But for many, myself included, it is a joy to work on the enclosure to ensure a heathy environment while providing something beautiful for me to enjoy in my home.

Feel free to have a look at the guide my fiance Rick, Captain Overkill!, wrote on how we set up our glass vivs (link in my sig).
