    Tank ... all the way!!! whats the point of keeping such a beautiful animal cooped up in a rubbermaid tub ???... and a tank allows for more natural light in for the snake to absorbe UV rays - tho not nessecery help produce vitiam D3 which promotes calcium absorption and thus a healthier and happier snake !!

    Tubs may be easier, but for people that don't have a lot of snakes I say tanks (especially from companies like Animal Plastics, Vision, Boaphile, etc.) are the way to go.

    They look soooo sweeeeet

    I'm moving from Tank to tub and want to make sure I got the right stuff...I have:
    1. 2 separate hides
    2. the substrate
    3. the bowl
    4. 2 x 32 quart tub (want to just switch tubs for changing)
    5. Acu-Rite combo for now (will be ordering a Helix soon)
    6. a soldering iron for burning the holes
    7. foil and tape to place on the sticky side of the Zoomed

    Is there anything else I need to make a smooth transition form tank to tub???

    I've got ball pythons bigger than those in tubs. There's no ball python too big for a tub (for those who choose to use them).

    I used to use a tank, until I saw how much better my animals fed in tubs (more consistently). Now my tanks are used for ASF's and leopard geckos.

    I have all my snakes in tubs (in my rack systems)... But i do have this REALLY nice glass exoterra that im going to use as a show piece in my reptile room. Every reptile room should have atleast one glass, nice looking, tank to make it look really cool.

    You do know that 6ft tubs exist right? :confused:

    Some tubs are big enough for retics and other giant boids, so I'm pretty sure that some tubs are big enough for your confined-space-loving Ball Pythons. :rolleyes:
