this might only get opinions as answers - but i have two corns, and right now they are in seperate 30 gallon aquarium tanks, and i am thinking of moving them to sterilite boxes so that i can save space - well, more for the fact that i want to set up a rack system conveniently.

however, my question goes like this - i know that both of them seem to enjoy watching the activiy in the room. i know when people are in the room they both come out and seem to "watch" what is goign on. i also have them by a window so there is some level of activity - i like to think that it creates a more natural environment.

if they were in sterilite boxes i was originally thinking they would not be able to see etc. and would be closed off in a very unnatural plastic box environment. in that sense i am somewhat apprehensive about sticking them in sterilite boxes. however, now i am wondering if their eyesight is even good enough that the sterilite box would make a difference as to how good they can see?

any thoughts? it would be especially helpful if someone knew something definitive on their eyesight, and whether they even use it that much to target activity, or is it mostly vibration and heat sensing?
