I have one young ball in a 24/12/12 steve doss snake fx enclosure in my living room for display - he is my son's pet of sorts - but my others in sterilites out of view in a walk in closet - i believe they have to be less stressed out of traffic - they are better eaters - maybe a coincedence - just makes sense that they would be more content in the tubs - i guess you gotta form an opinion and then make a decision what matters the most - the snakes needs or yours - just my opinion
