Honestly? I think if I had the space and could handle the weight, I'd keep all of my snakes in glass tanks. They don't actually look much prettier (to me), but I absolutely see a personality difference between the guy kept in a tank and the one in a tub. They're both healthy, calm, and eat well. The one in a tub is probably the better eater, but the girl in a tank is more active. Not in a stressy way, but if I walk into the room he comes out to see what's going on. If I'm feeding the King in the tank beside his, he's got his nose against the glass looking through and watching. Open his tank and he's crawling out of a hide to come up into my hand or up my arm. He decides he's hungry and he's pressed up against the front of the tank looking up to the door.

There are only two and it may just be a basic personality difference between the two - I got the guy in the tank younger, they're just plain individuals, and the bigger guy came in with a scar over 1/3 of his lower belly, in a 10 gallon tank he'd LONG since outgrown, and was owned by an elementary school aged kid.

It's still a night and stay kind of contrast, though. I'm SURE the tub is lower stress for them, but I'm pretty sure learning to deal with some stress (with the option of a good hide) is a good thing for a pet, too.
