I have since sold my old tank but I have all the gear to make a new one. Would one made from mdf wood be alright? My last one was as MDF board which I did 3 coats of waterproof sealing.I understand that the glass tanks are not ideal for snakes as they loose heat and can stress some out if they feel they can not hide properly with all sides visible so I normally go with wooden tanks. It would be a display tank as well as functional but do you still recommend plastic tubs are better? As much as I would like the see the tank insides I do not want to stress my animal out.I am not planning to get a snake until well into next year, as I have to wait for the hatchling season of early next year for a larger variety of snakes to be available.With the paper substrate for digging do you just shred the paper up to let them dig around? I am also trying to find the most eco-friendly product as I would like to stick to something biodegradable so paper wound be perfect or some other mulch I just rather something I can compost rather than add to landfill.</blockquote>
