I house mine temporarily in a plastic tub, when flake becomes bigger he will move to a wood terrarium I intend to star to build soon.
 
I voted tubs, but that is only partially right. I also use 20 gallon tanks, although I currently have a king and a ball in the tanks with all my corns in containers.
 
I have a few snakes still left in glass vivs, but the majority of my collection now is in sterlite. When I started this I wanted to have everyone in glass, but with almost 40snakes - it becomes cost and space prohibitive. Sterlites are much cheaper to buy, easier to clean and give me more space to work with.

What she said...^^

I have a 10 tier rack, a 4 tier rack, and a couple of glass vivs. All of my colubrids(kings and corns) are in the racks with Sterilite tubs. My BP and my boa are in a 20long Critter Cage and a 29 Critter Cage respectively. I also have an 18x18x18 Exo-Terra vivarium I use for lizards...
 
ARS !0 tub rack,CB-70 tubs for the adults.Iris tubs for the little ones.I like the Iris tubs because they dont have the little indent around the bottom like the other brands(you kow,right where all the poop gets stuck!)I'm going to set up a couple Vision 221 cages to show off a few Okeetees.I don't like glass tanks,to heavy,take up to much space,pain to clean AND I tend to drop things!
 
I use a combination of wooden vivariums and plastic tubs. I keep my babies in tubs but my adults get moved in to wooden vivs. I currently have my corn and my python in vivariums, and my baby boa is in a tub.
 
Corns and BP in an AP economy rack, with another one on the way. In the meantime I have my 2 hatchling pewters and new pastel BP in separate sterilite tubs with lids and a brick on top of them.

For ball pythons especially with their greater heat and humidity requirements, plastic tubs make a lot more sense and are much easier to maintain at those temps and humidity. I started with glass aquariums but they just take too much space.
 
Tubs here.

Hatchlings, once on a regular eating cycle, are moved from their delis to 12 qt Sterlites. They'll stay in there for at least a year, and then I move 'em up to a 41 qt Sterlite.

I sold 7 of my 8 20-gallon longs just under a year ago now; I'm holding onto one for the next baby beardie or tegu that steals my heart.

Well I voted glas stubs because at the moment that's the majority. 2 of my adults are in 45 gallon tanks, each of my 2 yearling in their own 20 gal Long tanks, and 1 adult in a wooden viv. I'm due to get some hatchlings however and because of their numbers they WILL be in plastics tubs :)
 
im currently housing my corn in a plastic tub untill he gets bigger then he will be moving to the big glass viv
 
Glass tanks for me. But I only have three so I can handle it. If I had as many snakes as I would like to have, I'd have to resort to racks :rolleyes:
 
I took a photo of the tubs I use for my hatchlings:

I'll probably move up to 12qt or 15qt once they outgrow these. I like the ones I have because they are ultra-secure.
 
I'm happy with 3 snakes (hey, I only ever wanted one!) so I two have glass vivs (cheap off craigslist) and my smallest gets a sterlite bin. I think both are fine options, I like the glass because it's great for display (ignore the fact my shy snakes don't really cooperate with that), I like the plastic tub because it's light.

Luggage straps because I'm paranoid.
Actually, the sterlite bin needs it as the lid is flexible and I can easily squeez my finger between the bin and the lid. So while my snake isn't big enough to do that yet, it's a good habit to get into.
 
I have an AP economy plastics rack, that house all 5 of my snakes. With 2 cats, 8 rats, and 1 conure in my small one bedroom apartment, a rack doesn't take up as much space as 5 tanks would :)
