Oh, I understand you completely!!! Aquariums are great, but rather heavy at larger sizes and only top accessed. So its hard to not have to take off a shelf, etc. to access the inside. The custom cages are nice and can be stacked and accessed easily from the front, but the larger sizes to best show off a large arboreal ratsnake can get quite pricey!!! Custom building your own takes skill (which I definitely lack LOL). I have seen some nice glass enclosures that were customized to access from the front at herp shows. Kind of expensive, but less than some of the more popular brands on the market. I like buying onsite because you can actually see the cage, access doors, quality, etc. I would suggest saving your money and seeing whats available at the next local herpshow you attend. I think its Glasscages that make some decent display enclosures.
