100 gallon flexarium for a boa?

Is it safe and possible to use a 100 gallon flexarium for a 10 foot central american Boa?

Would i still be able to use heating pads or the lights that i use ontop of my glass terrariums i have now?

At the pet shop this young guy told me thats what he uses and its no problem and that its very cheap.

So main things im not sure about with a flexarium is

Humidity and heating.

Josh

Personally I think its a bad idea. For starters a 10ft Boa could rip the thing apart at the seams if it so desired. Humidity along with drafts would be an issue along with heating as mentioned. I'd go with an enclosue as I mentioned previously in another thread, Mark

Building an enclosure is a great idea, it give you time to build it how you would like it and to the size you need. When your done, I would love to see pics.
