Yea, i know all about the flaws in using a tank, but here im not a breeder and i only have one i feel its more appropriate than a tub. That being said I do plan on upgrading various features of the current set up when the time is right (come into money), right now thye dont seem to be a problem, I get clean sheds no signs of infections and an otherwise happy snake (other than to day, I think hes having a hissy fit)
