Habitat vs Tupperwear

[Pandora]

I'm not surprised to see a vast majority of people on here go in favor of the tubs.

In my honest opinion, the tubs vs tanks option is just as subjective as people's taste in music or food, etc. etc... it's whatever works for the owner

My boyfriend and I live together and we've both got 2 ball pythons of our own. Personally, as a couple living in a 2-floor 3-bedroom house, we can afford the space to comfortably house 4 ball pythons in tanks, and manage to keep their temps and humidity regulated with little to no effort.

However, a lot of people who own several snakes, or breed snakes, would obviously need the convenience of a rack/tub system, and that's completely understandable.

In the argument of the snake's "happiness" with one or the other... I'm not so sure there's really much of a difference. Snakes are very basic-needs animals and as long as they've got heat, water, food, hides, a clean environment, and enough ground room to comfortably move around, I don't see the difference between plastic and glass. To be totally honest... by the sounds of it, that's exactly what's being argued.

Nobody who takes their animals as seriously as the owners on this website would sacrifice the fundamental needs of their pet by putting them in a tupperware container, if it really came down to that. However, that's not the case...

At the end of the day, if we're going to have an argument like this, let's start one on mozzarella vs. cheddar, and rock vs. rap... now THERE'S something to agrue

I use 'tupperwear / TUPPERWARE' and like it very much

I now have several tanks that I am unsure of what to do with. May start a gecko colony.

We use tanks, chief reason being we personally like to have them displayed. Going to get rid of our Exo tanks and step up to all AP's.

I'll take pics once I can get a few thousand scraped together to order them.

I only have the one BP right now and he's in a tank/habitat.

I'm not have difficulties with keeping temperature and humidity right.

The cool side of the tank is at 78-82 and the hot side varies between 90 and 95.

We have a small coconut hide on the warm side and then a fake vine on the other than he likes to curl up underneath.

I use an infrared lamp for heat so it can be left on at night on cool nights.

Well if those are the thermometers you are using to measure your temps, then your temps are probably wrong :/

[Argentra]

Yep, those little stick on dial thermometers are worth squat! You need a digital thermometer with probe to accurately measure your temps...also, temps need to be measured at ground level, since that's where the snake spends all its time.

It might not look as good, but really you should not care what it looks like if it makes the snake happier than you. The snake is 100% dependent on you so that means you should give it the enclosure it will feel most secure and to where it keeps up with its requirements.

Well said! She feels superior because she has a pretty tank! Open tanks cause more stress to a snake! Who does that benefit? Not the snake!
