    Are IRIS Tubs Still Okay?

    Do any of you guys think putting a male BCI in one of those IRIS Christmas Tree Tubs is okay? I can't see any problems, except their height, which is only 14". Though I know people also keep their snakes in 1' h enclosures as well. I do understand that BCI are semi-aborial, which is why I'm asking. I've found lots of posts that claim they are great, but they are from a while back and info is constantly being updated and changed. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is what it is: https://www.walmart.com/ip/IRIS-Holi...&wl13=&veh=sem . Thank y'all for any input!

    They're fine. Many people run their boas in regular racks or 12" high T8's which are shorter than the VE-175 tubs.

    I know this is about boas, but I was just modifying one of these tubs today for climbing opportunities for my BP. So you can still provide climbing enrichment in these tubs if that's something you're interested in.

    That is great to know, thank you! If I do go the tub-route, I will most likely use this one here: https://www.containerstore.com/s/gar...hoCd1sQAvD_BwE

    it's more expensive but IMO, nicer looking. Thanks again!
