You think they are content in there? Just because you can't hear them saying "Get me the .... out of here!" doesn't mean they aren't saying it.
I think a problem a lot of you suffer from is the money-issue.

I have stayed out of this thread for too long. But you think tubs are bad. So I keep my ball pythons in tubs, where they shed, eat, poop regularly, as well as grow, thermoregulate, breed, live in correct humidity, and easy to clean environments, and that is wrong. And the person who keeps a ball python in a 75 gallon tank, where it paces endlessly, never finding an ideal spot to be comfortable, is covered in stuck sheds because humidity is incorrect, and ends up with RI because the heat isn't correct, is the one that is right?
I am pretty sure the fact that an extremely picky species of snake, eats better, and in general thrives better in a tub, means something.
Are tubs right for all animals? No. Are the tried and tested correct for some? Yes!
I think the problem is, a few people suffer from a closed mind, and a holier than thou-issue.
