You may find yourself loving plastic despite your initial resistance. I was initially very turned off on the prospect of keeping my snakes in rubbermaids or sterilites - but in terms of ease in setting up, maintaining humidity, cleaning/maintenance, weight, fragility and the ability to cheaply have extras handy for fast cleaning swap-outs they are hard to beat.

We have a variety of folks here using a variety of housing approaches - so long as you can meet the husbandry requirements of the snake in question and can maintain it consistently whatever works for you wins the day be it glass, plastic, homemade or professional-grade!
