Convert Vs. Buy?

[Brylee1233]

I bought a china cabinet with hopes of converting it into a snake enclosure for my BRB. Explaining the process to my mother, she told me it was going to be expensive. Yes, I know it would be an expensive project, but thinking about it now with me being just a mere youngen, having a budget, and not properly knowing all the steps I should take, or if there are must do and don't do's, I was wondering if I should just buy an enclosure or try to trek through with the china cabinet.

The enclosure I would buy would be the Exo Terra: Natural Terrarium Large/X Tall. The dimensions are 36"x18'x36" (WxDxH).

My china cabinet is all wood (duh). and I was thinking about getting it lined with plexi glass and sealing that, so i wouldn't have to deal with the wood sealant stuff… It's dimensions are about 38 inches tall 15 inches depth and 40 inches in width… (These are rough estimates).

I was wondering what your guy's opinions would be? Should I Buy or Repurpose?

Also, would the glass tank be big enough for a full grown male BRB?
