Does anyone else prefer tanks to tubs?

[Reinz]

Being older than most folks here, I was old school. I never even thought that there were of any other possibilities than tanks or wood cages.

Tanks worked for me and I didn’t have issues. When I came to this forum and heard about tubs I thought it was major ghetto. Plus what’s the point of of a pet that you don’t see?

My attitude changed when I saw how simple and successful tubs are, especially for BPs. But for ME personally, I could not put a semi arboreal snake like a Boa, Retic, or Carpet in a tub PERManenty. Needless to say, I feel the same for arboreal snakes as well.

Then when I heard about the PVC cages here on the forum I was immediately sold and slowly switched over.


If I was starting all over I would definitely consider tubs, probably as temporary measures. If I was going to have multiple BPs I would look hard at racks as well.

The bottom line, it’s whatever works for you and the proper husbandry of your snake(s).
