Fish Tanks as Snake Enclosures

I plan on getting a Rainbow Boa in the very far future and when I'm experienced enough so knowing they need so much more extra care then other snakes I'll be going for a very expensive/perfect set up indeed.

Depending on the species and what modifications have been made to the tank, they can work fine or they can be deathtraps. For larger species they will certainly become very expensive though.
