So very true. For some short and fat their speed and power is ungodly.

This seems to be a statement I read lots ATM...it not true at all...glass holds humidity just as well...it often the mesh top that needs consideration!

The point everyone's getting at is that glass doesn't hold an ambient temperature very well, and this warm air is crucial to gain humidity... Cold air does not hold humidity. Glass is not a good insulator, hence why we have double glazing etc... Go gain humidity in a glass viv you need a high powered heat source to keep ambient temps up which in turn usually dries the air out anyway...
If you have a Heated rep room then the argument is void but for most people glass is an issue.

Re: Keeping 4ft Blood for friend, first big snake!
Personally I've found plastic tubs hold heat and humidity better than glass tanks. For better humidity in tubs, you put holes near the top and have them nicely spaced, not bunched together.
Not only that, but I've found that tubs are alot easier to maintain than glass tanks since they're not near as heavy. All of my animals but one is in plastic tubs, and that animal does well with ambient temps and humidity so the little 10 gallon tank is fine for it.
CDN_Blood is a great source of information on bloods as well as Caylan. Both of these members can help you iron out any husbandry issues you may have with the blood. I do recommend watching some of CDN's youtube vids about his bloods. They're really informative about blood temperaments and can help you read the animal better.
Good luck!

There aren't alot of glass tanks I know of that are completely sealed aside from air holes, and open at the front. Plus, glass is HEAVY...
