Don't know about "best", but I have used many different types of enclosures.



Visionariums are very good, if their size (20 gal long) is suitable for the captive. They have a shallow litter dam however, so you can't build up substrate high at all.



The somewhat new ZooMed and Exo-Terra glass cages are excellent! I do not think they stack however. More on that below.



Cage stacks can present problems with heating or even cleaning. Depends alot on how you are heating and your ambient air temps. But if you are going to stack cages on one another, I recommend using plastic cages instead of glass. There are many plastic cage manufacturers. You can't see through them, however. IMO, if you want glass visibility, then stacking is not usually an option. Better to use shelves instead. Those HomeDepot type storage racks work very well.



PVC pipe makes a great hide. I don't know of any snake that will not use PVC pipe happily. I used the entire pipe not cut in half. When I wanted to hydrate the snakes, I'd spray water in the pipe. What I like about it as well is you can have a single piece span the hot end and some of the cool end of the cage. The snake can hide and choose temps.
