a ten gallon aquarium is approximately 20"x10", which means it's technically a suitable amount of space for a BP that's 30" or smaller. you should think very carefully about how much you want to use glass enclosures, though, as they make BP husbandry significantly trickier to maintain. glass is a poor insulator, which means you'll need more heat. the screen lids allow a LOT of air flow, which means 50%-60% humidity will be difficult to maintain.
>I was thinking of doing normal maintenance and handling through the two front exo terra doors and feeding through the top of the tank to see if the snake would expect food from the top and be less likely to strike at the doors.
you're way overthinking it. if your snake is likely to strike at the enclosure doors at any time, it won't matter at all which door you use for which reasons. snakes are just not conditioned that way. they don't become aggressive just for being fed in their enclosure, and they don't make mental connections like "when THIS door opens it's time to eat, but when THAT door opens it's not time to eat." unless your BP smells a rat, they won't automatically expect food, so they won't strike at you in hunt mode. if your BP is tame and comfortable in the enclosure, they won't strike at you defensively.
>Can anyone give me an idea of what size hides and water bowls I should use?
it really depends on the size of the snake. you'll probably need a relatively large water bowl to help maintain humidity, but at the very least it should be large enough for your snake to fit inside it if they want to soak in the water. hides should be just big enough for the snake to curl up inside with little/no extra space.
my 27" 270g BP has these medium hides and this large water bowl. my 50" 1300g BP has these hides and this x-large water bowl. because they are in plastic enclosures with minimal air flow - a 41.2 qt iris weathertight storage box and a 421D boaphile cage respectively - their humidity is consistently at 50%-55% just from the water bowls, with no need for moist substrate.
