Or are the striking into glass problems just when the snake is in a bad mood?

I've seen sterlite recommended a couple of other places as well. Got any links or size suggestions? I really do like the idea of not buying another glass tank (my 40gal was only $100).
Actually, the tub is better (IMHO) because it's easier to keep up your temps and humidity. There is no real reason to feed your snake out of his enclosure unless the enclosure has loose substrate. The thing about the snake mistaking your hand for food is a myth. It can actually stress out the snake if you feed it in a different enclosure and move it back. A sterlite tub that can last it for a year is the Sterlite 1960, which is only 7 dollars. You can buy it from Wal Mart or Target. I believe it is a 41 Qt tub. After that, you will probably need to make an enclosure or buy one from a plastic cage maker. Boaphile makes plastic cages.
