Glass Enclosures for BCI?

[hylia]

I currently have my young Boa in a 15 gallon tank. From what I have researched, it seems like this is not ideal and I should use something that retains heat better. I don't have too much trouble maintaining with my 15 gallon, but I assume a bigger tank will be harder to heat??

I am planning on building my own acrylic/wood enclosure, but, plans have changed a bit and we may be moving next year. I don't want to build some big enclosure (I plan on making matching stand and all) just to have to move it and risk damaging it.

So, I was looking at the Exo-Terra tanks, either the 36x18x18H or the 36x18x24H to use as an intermediate. Which size would be better? Does anyone here use glass for larger BCI? Do you have trouble keeping the heat/humidity up?

I am just asking before buying anything. I have read some sites that make it seem like a sin to keep Boas in glass, so I am just not sure if it's really that bad or if they just make it seem so because they have a different preference.

Most of the stores here keep all their snakes in glass, even one all reptile store where the guys seem pretty knowledgeable. So, is it really as bad as some make it seem?

Thanks for your input.
