Tub People vs Enclosure People

[Oxylepy]

I believe the general consensus of the forum is that proper conditions just need to be met. Temperature, humidity, hiding places. Doesn't matter if it's a tub or a tank.

I remember that at one point, even here, tanks were considered poor conditions as it makes it fairly hard to maintain the husbandry. But it got better.

I've always held that a BP can be kept safely in a tank, as long as the proper conditions were met, and I've given people advice on how to turn a tank into a decent enclosure, the ins and outs of maintaining humidity, the types of bedding and heating, etc. My first BP was kept in a tank for an extremely long time with only a few bad sheds in the winter. At the time I didn't realize I could handle that with a sheet of aluminum foil, now we know.

The sentiment that a tank is somehow inferior is false, it's just a matter of how much preparation you need for the tank to handle a BP. If things can be kept where they need to be, you're fine.

Heck, you can get away with CHEs, light bulbs, etc. As long as the right temperatures are being generated for the snake and your humidity is where it needs to be. Obviously you also need secure locations for it to hide.
