What is the better vivarium? i already have a glass vivarium, but it is ugly, and i also have already got a wood one, it is small..... I can buy a fibreglass vivarium, but is it all worth that amount of money in the end of the day?

i would much rather make my own but i dont know how to build a corner tank....... for a ball python.....
help please, and thanks

Building a corner tank is the same as building any size tank. You just need to figure out the dimensions you are after and go from there. What size were you thinking about? Front opening? Top opening? Did you want lighting? How are you going to heat it? I'm unfamiliar with fiberglass enclosures so I cannot really comment on that part.

If you are housing something like a corn or king, or something that doesn't require anything above room humidity, go with wood or glass. Fiberglass is SUPER for being waterproofed, so for a humidity lover, it's well worth the dough if you have access to a well-made fiberglass enclosure.
