Tank or Tub?

I am going with Tubs, and eventually a rack. I just got two BPs and I know already I plan to expand to many more. Hope this helps.

I just fell tubs are more cost effective for a larger group, and with the right kind (I got clear Rubbermade) can be set up to look like a tank with a climb if you get the deeper ones.

I'm leaning a little bit more towards the tubs than the tanks and racks at this point but I would like to see as many answers as possible! :)

They really don't move all that much, especially when they are older. I currently keep all of my ball pythons in tubs and nearly every time I look in there they are in their hides. If it is feeding night, they are at the front of the tub staring at me.

Ball pythons oddly enough do very well in cramped spaces. There are many species of snake that are the complete opposite though and need way more room that a tub could never provide.

If you want to save some money and don't want to bother cleaning a huge heavy tank, go with a tub. Cleaning is a breeze and you never have to worry about humidity. If you go with an iris tub, they are actually rather clear so you can still see your snake :)

Thanks everyone! Looks like i'm going to start building a rack (like I mentioned, I plan on expanding anyways so better to cut to the chase, right? ;) ) Again, thank you all for your input!! Off to the DIY section! :B
