This is an interesting discussion because my tune has definitely started to change after inquiring my 1st BP. I was told that tubs were the way to go because of how easy they were, etc, etc........BUT being the novice w/o any experience, I opted for a more visual experience (pvc enclosure). There's no way I wanted to spend all this $$ on a beautiful creature and not be able to view him his enclosure. Boy was I wrong...very rarely do I ever see him outside of his hide. So just maybe, If I ever get another, I'll go the tub / rack route.
