However, if you know anything of wild BPs, you'll know that while they live in Africa, and while yes, Africa is huge, they live in old burrows and termite mounds, rarely coming out. Tubs are much more conducive to their natural, wild state. And while you do get one that doesn't mind larger, more open areas (I've got one myself), the majority will thrive in tubs. They are nocturnal and prefer small, dark spaces, and we as humans force them into big tanks and bright areas.
