Hello,
I'm just wondering why glass aquariums are not recommended and the plastic ones are more recommened? I can understand why they wouldn't be recommened if you used a screen top, but what if you used a plexiglass lid for the aquarium to keep the humidity up? I'm just wondering bc I've seen a lot of articles of people that are very against glass aquariums. One of the main reasons I'm asking if bc I recently aquired a 75 gallon aquarim (for free!!!!) and was thinking an easy way to keep the humidity up is to just pick up some plexiglass and cut it to lay on the top of the tank (off coarse it would be secured so the snake couldn't get out and also holes drilled in it for circulation and fresh air.) Anyways, all help is always appreciated.
