I have to agree. My girl is in a 50 gal breeder tank (so it's wider than it is tall) and is having no problems. My temps and humidity are spot on and she eats wonderfully. I have 2 nice small tight hides for her in there along with plenty of fake branches and plants to fill it in. (And no, I don't mind taking them all out to clean ) However, I personally wouldn't go any larger than a 50 though and I do think they should be the wider, shorter ones rather than the tall ones.

I don't have any problem with people that keep their snakes in tubs and they do seem to do well in them. Obviously it's whatever works best for you and your snake(s). As long as your snake is healthy and happy that's all that matters
