Here comes the breeder's response....Don't feel bad about keeping your bp in a tub. As stated earlier, snakes do better when in an enclosure that provides a sense of security. Usually the healthiest/happeist bps I see are the ones in an appropriately sized tub. To me a 55 gallon tank is too big. Would rather go with a 40 gallon breeder, with the increased floor space rather than vertical room. However, pbyeerts setup looks pretty sweet! Displaying snakes is one of the best parts of having them, just make sure that their heat/humidity/hides are in order and youre set.
