Do you have your BP in a tank or tub?

[BallPythonsRule]

I took your guys' advice and I half switched to tubs. I got one of my bps in it and my new baby corn... they like it.
I had to because I'm might be getting a Cal. King and a dumeril's.. so YAY!

I have a tank and its the best and tubs are lame!

hehe - just kidding!!!!

For me, with just a few snakes it doesn't make much sense to put them in anything non-transparent. I derive alot of enjoyment out of peeking in on them during the day. And I think, if done right, a tank can be a great home.

Now clear plastic enclosures interest me....

Is there a place where I can check out pictures of your tubs? Where can I find prices for these? I love building things but I must admit they tend to all come out looking like "birdhouses" or "ashtrays" from a high school shop class. I only have one BP right now but they are addictive! My wallet fears there are more on the way, and I'm interested in these tubs...

The tub setups I've seen are all fundmentally a set of dresser drawers. I can see the efficiency angle, but for a person that has one or two snakes it just doesn't seem that great.

When you use tubs do you just have to take them out anytime you want to see them? I love peeking in even to just see a part of my BP's body in his hide. That's when I say "I see you Snakey.... I see you hiding in there....".

You can see into the tubs just fine... I have clear plastic ones and blue tinted one... both you can see right through and they can see you too... I got pics of my set ups in my gallery... should be a little bit of everything there for you to check out. PM me if you want any more info on tubs vs tanks

I have a rack but also a few plastic cages (a choice not offered here) . I put my glass tanks in storage.

I currently have my ball python in a tank but I plan to build a home made enclosure for him shortly.

I only have one BP and it's living in a 20 gallon tank. I don't have much trouble with keeping proper husbandry, although I do wet the plants every 1-2 days to keep up the humidity. It's located in my bedroom, on my desk behind my laptop, so my BP gets its privacy while seeing me often enough to be totally used to my presence.

I really only intend to keep just the one so I feel like a tank serves my purposes pretty well. I am weird and I enjoy cleaning so that's not a problem for me. If/when my BP outgrows the tank, I might switch over to a tub. That won't be for a few years, though.

I will get one soon and I have a tank.

Maybe when it grows I'll get a tub.

I preffer the a natural setting for my animals so I have them in tanks with greens and everything . In addition the tanks add aestheticly to the l decor of my home and are somewhat of an attraction to my guests. I can't imagine having them in plastic totes and on newspaper like a lot of people do, simply for ease of maintenance.If you are a breder then yes racks and totes but if you really want to enjoy your snake you must be able to observe it in it's natural environment . Eventually as the snakes outgrow the tanks I'll built custom cages for each and every snake.
