Yea I when with tub money is tight, but I want to get a display tank with a good lock on it. My husband is scared of snake and it will make him feel better. This tub has a nice tight lid on it. Right now he is in the livingroom , but I am moving him into my bed room. I dont want my 5 year old son to be missing with him while I sleep. my son sometime gets up at 6am.
