haha...I am well aware that they are not fish. You do not need to patronize me. I have a snake to enjoy it as a pet, not put in a tub on a rack to breed it. I enjoy watching him enjoy his tank. If you have your snake as a pet to enjoy, I cannot fathom why you would put it in a tub. I have no husbandry issues with my snake. I understand it is hard to maintain humidity in a tank; consquently, I invested in a large tank, and I have plans to make it awesome and proper. My snake is constantly active, and I can tell he wants more room. I will accomodate him. I let him roam my 400 sq foot room, and he doesn't stop lol. He just slithers and slithers. I am not an enthusiast with lots of snakes. One is enough for me. I think 5x2 is perfect for me, and I had it built and I am going to make a custom lit to aid in humidity retention. I was just kind of looking for other people's ideas and thoughts as far as those who keep their snake in a tank...as I clearly stated...not to be critiqued by people who keep their "pets" in a tub.
