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.

    No. It just means that the person using the 75 gallon tank isn't doing it right. Perhaps tubs are a "snakes for dummies" answer? I don't know. If you don't know how to take care of something, don't keep it.

    I don't use tanks either.
