what glass to use.

hi everyone i am making a new vivarium for my redtail boa.
everything else nearly ready just the glass.
i have spoken to my local glaziers & he has suggested i use laminated glass instead of toughened glass because if the boa pushes against it and did break it it would just crack up.
what do you all think.
thank you.
