Keep in tank or use tub?

I got my 3 month old BP in a tank right now which is set up ok and has the right temps and humidity but I also have a tub set up and I can easily get the same measurements in it, which one would he be better off in?

The main thing is if your animal is eating steadily, your temps and humidity are good, then you should be good to go. I have racks but if I had to choose between a tub or a tank I would go with the tub just for the ease of maintenance of cleaning etc.

I dont exactly know, I got it off the guy I bought my snake from but its about 1 1/2 feet long, 1ft wide, and about 5-6 inches tall.

I may be mistaken but it looks like a 12 or 16qt. you should be fine

ok thank you :)

Your very welcome:gj:

exactly what candi said. lol i think the main reason people use tubs are because they are easy to clean, but also they hold heat better then glass, now why better? when i say better i mean its less electricty to keep them hot, i have 2 small heat mats running on low to keep my two tubs warm as opposed to tanks i would have to run em higher because heat passes through glass much easier then plastic

i kept mine in a tub because it was easier, now she is in her own specially made cage:)
