    Even the mesh top in the photo can have a sheet of Perspex on it to help with containing the humidity and heat somewhat.

    All mine are in tanks or vivs just so I can observe and enjoy them - couldn't imagine keeping a beautiful and interesting snake in a plastic box with blurry opaque sides tbh

    It's all down to personal preference of course .

    You mistook my comment, I wasn't trying to say tubs were better than tanks or so something like that. I have both and I keep reptiles in both, but that is ill suited for the bp in that state, it seems to be one of those small vertical exo terras. Fine for something like a Crestie but those aren't good for bps, like I said before there isn't much floor space in it. Which is far more important than height for a terrestrial species like a bp than height. I suppose you always could flip it on it's side and heat it with UTHs but you could get a larger tub far less than a bigger viv. End of the day tank or viv doesn't really matter, their husbandry is flawed and they need to fix it.
