mesh cages, are they better than aquariums

[tony_welch]

i am just getting my first ball python, and i am in a crisis. i am not sure whether to get a mesh cage or an aqaurium. the mesh cage is bigger but i am not sure that the humidity will stay level as well as it would in an aquarium. i know that an aquarium is good for humidty and temperature, but i also want it to be able to move and climb. so to sum this post up, which is better mesh cage, or aquarium. any advice will be helpful, and greatly appriciated
