Blood Python Cage Advice

Ok so hopefully within a few months I will begetting a new blood python(or short-tail idk). And I need help deciding on an encloser. I would like to know from personal experiance(or from knowledge of blood and short tail pythons) what are the pros and cons of each, not considering price, also what one you would think is the best. Also I will buy his/her forever tank before I get him/her to get it set up and running. I will also get a rubermaid set up, so if I get a baby it can feel secure. So finally here are the tanks I am considering.

First one- DIY cage made from melamine or MDF board useing these plans, http://redtailboa.net/forums/how-tos-tutorials/28742-how-build-4x2-enclosure-100-a.html

Second one-one- http://boamaster.com/products/4ft_wide-49-4.html

Third one- http://boamaster.com/products/4ft_econo_pvc_w_free_shipping-138-3.html

The forth one- http://www.boaphileplastics.com/421d.html

Or if you have another idea please tell me.

Or i
 
I have a Boaphile, and I love it. HOWEVER - Boaphile was a _pain_ to do business with. I placed the order, heard NOTHING nothing nothing, tried to get ahold of them via email and phone call, and finally reached someone the day before it arrived. I had no idea it had even been shipped.

I have no complaints about the cage itself. It's well built, attractive, and perfect for my snake, but getting it was an exercise in frustration....so if you go that route, be prepared. Their threads on the BOI all say similar things.
 
Ok that is something to consider as I am not very patient, also how long did it take to get to you?
I have seen a few heating styles, how do you heat yours

I have a UTH and thermostat that I ordered with mine. I don't recall exactly how long it took, but I think it was about 5 weeks.

One thing I really like about it is the slightly rounded corners inside, which make cleaning it much easier than if it had sharp corners.
 
Ok, I guess I will be able to deal with the time. So the UTH is able to heat through the plastic then?
The rounded for corners sound like they would be much easier to clean then a squared one.
