Mine, which I used for my ball python until I upgraded him to his pvc enclosure, is very oversized compared to the recommended and has a removable wooden perch for climbing in addition to all the fake foliage and such (cheaply and easily made with a wooden dowel and eye hooks). With a little creativity, it's a good option for even those who want to give a more complex set-up but are waiting on making the big investments for whatever reason.
See, I had not really thought about that.
My biggest issue with rack/tub, and why I did not go for them, is that all the ones I ever see are paper bottomed with a water bowl and single hide inside. I just felt taking a BP that has lived it's whole life in a bigger cage with a heat lamp spot and branch/fake foliage and space and putting it inside a box would be a little stressful for it...But, maybe they would not care either way, they are "just snakes" lol.
