Do you have your BP in a tank or tub?

I use a tub and only have 1 snake. So I don't think you need to be a breeder or have 4 plus snakes to use tubs.

I think tanks are and ok bare-bones temporary enclosure for your first snake. Personally I hate tanks. They ALL remind me of a "petshop" display nomatter how theyre "setup" especially with the clutter of fake decor not to mention the junk surrounding the tank to keep temps/humidity etc. correct. If someone wants to go that route atleast get some vision, RBI, AP etc. enclosures. IMO Racks look cleaner, more organized, and alot more proffesional.

I started in tanks . . . and switched to stackables. :p I love them. It's kinda the best of both worlds, in a way. Less space, similar to tubs, but still a bit of a display enclosure. So I can see what everyone is up to, and I can give them light cycles.

Most are in tubs. 2 are in tanks. 1 being my largest female whome I didnt want to move & stress her out during breeding season. The other being 1 in qtn who just got over an RI.

Tubs are easier to control stats with IMHO but tanks make better display peices.

Woah, I always thought tubs were the dominant ones. I geuss I was wrong...

we use tubs. just easier.

I currently use 20l tanks from my pet supply store. I eventually want to build the enclosures that are on Blue Apple Herps though. I do have a fight with temps and humidity, however, for me it is an ok tradeoff to have something I like looking at. The Tanks are heavy enough to not get knocked around by the kiddies as well, and I have no where to store a tub setup.

If I ever get into breeding, though, it will be a rack and tub system all the way. Also, when I get my baby GTP, I will be using a tub for it until it is grown, as a tub IS easier to get to the correct temps/humidity.

Nixie

TUBS. I, like many, started with tanks...and where I live the air is very dry, and after some nasty dryness issues, problems regulating humidity, and some VERY unpleasant shedding problems, I switched to tubs. I eventually plan to have a few tanks in my home to display favourites but, for the time being, tubs, tubs, tubs! :)

I still keep a some of my snakes in tanks, but the majority are kept in tubs nowadays.

Tubs all the way!!

I started off with my first BP in a 55 gal tank, I about went crazy trying to keep it right, Insulated with 2 UTH's and a ceramic heater, then added a humidifier and still had to mist to keep the humidity up. Plus she never came out of her hide anyway, 98% of the time it looked like I had a empty decorated tank!

I agonized over switching her to a tub, it really did seem pretty inhumane. Then I made the switch. Within 2 hours my temp and humidity were perfect, and because the tubs are opaque, she spends more time out of her hide than in it. I can still see her, but I don't think she really see's me. I now own 3 bp's and they are all in tubs. I am planning on building a rack soon, as my collection is growing.

Cleaning takes 1/4 of the time as I just pull them out and clean them in the bathtub, you can't do that with a 55 gal. And getting in to clean her tank was an absolute pain! I am not a tall person so I had to stand on a chair to reach the bottom of the tank.

I love my BP's and I take them out to play regularly, but I also love not having to worry if there tank is clean, and their temps, and humidity are right. As silly as it sounds, I know my snakes are happier in their tubs, and I am a much happier owner!
