How easy is it to see inside these Reptariums? (www.Reptarium.com) Are they better than a glass enclosure?

They have black mesh, but its fairly easy to see through. Good chameleon cages imo, not so great for snakes

I wouldn't use this for a snake. Reason being that snakes will tend to rub their noses against the walls, and rubbing against a screen can cause the snake to rub it raw and get infected... vet bills... could potentially end up costing you more in vet bills than it would to buy a regular solid wall tank.

A fool doesn't learn. A smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others. Which one are you?

1.0 Green Tree Python (Monty)

As a rule, I don't use them for snakes, especially those who require higher humidity or are larger/strong. However, I have an adult bull snake who is incapable of grasping the concept of "transparent". He works himself into a frenzy when placed in an enclosure with either a glass or plexiglass door, sides, etc.. A reptarium works well for him. He respects the limits, does not rub his nose against the sides, and is generally a much happier camper housed this way.
