Do you have your BP in a tank or tub?

[Bruce Whitehead]

I started out with tanks. By the second snake I switched to tubs. No more husbandry issues. It was great. Had a few escapes until I perfected it though.

All the bps are in tubs, but my colubrids are in tanks/vivs.

Tubs/rack bps in the bedroom. And the colubrids in my office/living room. I find the colubrids to be a bit hardier and are more able to deal with the noise, people, etc. Whereas, I tend to baby my bps. I don`t let alot of people handle them, so having them in the rack is kinda nice. Out of sight out of mind. Most people wouldn`t know they were there unless I told them.

E.g of a yearling tub.

My snakes are in tanks but as soon as I build a rack I am putting them in tubs.

Tanks are a little more work to set up but if you know what you are doing it's not that hard to make it a perfectly wonderful home and once done they work beautifully - most of the collection are in racks but I do have some in cages and some in tanks. Theres not a choice for all of the above.

i have mine in a tank and let me say, i will be switching to tubs soon. i have gray hairs now thanks to the humidity and temp issues in the tank.

I prefer tanks because I like to watch my BPs while sitting on the sofa in the evening... and a nice tank simply looks better in my living room And fortunately I have no issues with the temperature or humidity.

Hi Markus,

I just wanted to ask how you stop your snake from reaching the light in the top corner and possibly getting burnt?

My male did this before I got him and has some horrible scars all down his body.

After fighting a tank with my bro-in-law's BP, I decided to try a tub when I got my snake, and I'm SOOOOOOO glad I did. I've only had him a few days, but it's been easier already.

I have neither. Mine is in a 36" Neodesha enclosure. Best thing I've kept him in yet.

The bulb is protected, you cannot see it in the picture... so no danger of getting burned.
