As far as going tank because you want to see the snake, not going to happen as bps arent good display animals. They spend most of their time hiding. The saying is a hiding bp is a happy bp. (Check out Reptile Basics for the best hides) But, to each his own. Do some reading, gather some opinions, and decide what you want to do.
Wow thanks for the advice. I hadn't considered the tub from a humidity standpoint, but it makes a lot of sense that it would be easier to regulate. And you're right, when I want to see him or her I could just take them out.
