Hi Ed! Welcome aboard! :


I know six months seems like a long time to wait...but it took me over two years after joining this site to finally get my first BP! So I totally know how you feel!

There are plastic tubs big enough to house adult bp's very comfortably, so you don't have to switch to glass unless you just really want to. If you run into serious humidity issues, but still want to maintain a more "attractive" enclosure, you could save up and go with an Animal Plastics or Boaphile cage. Those can look very nice as a display, but hold temps and humidity much better than a typical glass box.

As for the age....so long as the baby has established a solid eating pattern, age doesn't make much of a difference unless you just have a personal preference. Look for the one that just steals your heart away, no matter how old it is.
