Rant Over
I guess the point is moot then. I don't think anyone's asking you to change your opinion, just to stop acting like tubs are a more irresponsible way to keep a snake, because they're not. My king snake, and all of my other reptiles and amphibians, reside in live-planted tanks, because it suits them better. I believe that tubs suit ball pythons better than a tank, and while they are in a tub, they still have bedding, and hides, and maybe even a fake plant or two. Using words like "dump" and "convenience" is going to rub people the wrong way.
