Dumb newbie breeding question

Im not really sure how to word this without sounding like a complete idiot... here goes. It seems like everyone that breeds uses tubs, but i don't like tubs i like to watch my snakes ( i know i'm weird) I'm looking at picking up 3 t8 animal plastic cages with the center divider 6 snakes total. Has anyone had luck breeding in anything other than tubs??

You only need to put the snakes in the tubs for a few hours while they lock. Most snakes won't lock when they feel exposed, so tubs are a good idea. After a few locks, just move the female back into her tank and do whatever you want with the male.

(Breed him again, put him back. Should have clarified this, there are some crazy people out there...)

I will be breeding my BP's in my AP T8's come November. I can't say for sure that it will work, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't.

thanks guys maybe i'll try that and just keep a tub or two for breeding i also thought about getting the glass done in one way glass in the front of the t8 so they can't see out

I figure if I need to make them feel more secure in my T8's I will just put a towel or sheet over the front.

A friend breeds boas and to make them feel secure he made a hide out of a cement mixing tub. Its big enough for 2 of em to be in but small enough foe them to feel secure

They'll breed fine in cages, tanks, or tubs. The reason you see a lot of talk of breeding in tubs is because most people breeding have collections that they house in racks, which is more convenient/efficient for housing many snakes. Regardless of what you're keeping them in, if you provide a proper environment, they will feel secure.
