Wow. Nice collection!
I am all for what is best for the snake. I first kept my BP in a glass tank, but the heat and humidity leaked out so easily. This winter, with the nights getting below freezing and the heat always on, thus much drier and causing bad sheds, I gave up and decided to get her a bin. The floorspace is a tad less than her 40 gallon tank, but it is 13" high, so she doesn't feel cramped. The bin holds heat and humidity so well, and (until she started her breeding-season fast) she wasn't as hesitant about eating as she used to be. So, all in all, the sweater box worked out a lot better for her than a tank. She's much more relaxed and comes out of her hides more often. But, like I said earlier, I'm all for what's best for the snake, and if a ratsnake would be better off in a glass tank, I wouldn't put it in a bin.
