Know the difference in heat conductivity (R-value) between glass and even the thinnest piece of wood? BIG difference.
Ventilation? Intuitive, but I'll touch on it anyways. Open top, closed on all sides, air just rushes in and out. Fine for a species that likes that. Beardes and leos can live in that. Ball Pythons? Not the greatest. Just because you don't understand why we're all against it, doesn't make it ok. People do use them. I used to use them 12 years ago. They can work, they just aren't the best option. Some people come here loking for the best option.
So if the aquarium loses heat faster, leading to more heat being needed, and has a big open space at the top, what does that do for humidity?

When was the last time you went to any store and found them selling rubbermaids?

LOL, if I'm at the mercy of what a PET STORE sells me for my caging options, I think I should just stop keeping reptiles right now. Some people are a little more progressive than the garbage that is offered at the local pet store. I see pet stores selling hot rocks, does that mean I use them in all my cages? They also sell ground up "turkey diet" for monitors and tegus. Do I buy it for my monitors? Nope.
