Does anyone else prefer tanks to tubs?

I agree with pretty much all of this^^^^...

When I started out in 1999-2000 all I knew about was tanks or homemade wood enclosures. I thought racks were just temporary and for breeders only.

Fast forward to a few years ago when I got back into the hobby and I went with what I knew...GLASS TANKS.
...and guess what?!?!?....THEY WORK!!

For all the glass bashers out there, my animals are well taken care of, their husbandry is where it needs to be. My snakes eat, have perfect sheds and none show any signs of stress inside the enclosure or out.............................
...........................Glass can and DOES work perfectly fine if you just put in the effort. And not all species require any extra effort...

I Agree totally. I had no problems tweaking my tanks as well. A few years ago here tanks seemed to be looked down upon and there were lots of negativity thrown around. I was defensive, since I didn’t experience the problems folks complained about.

But then again I understand why. People did not seem to understand basic Physical Science; if low humidity, add water and or contain it with different substrate; if low temps, add heat; if too hot, cool the air or ventilate; etc.

Almost identical problems posted over and over, just like “my BP won’t eat”. Some non tank people thus figured that tanks did not work and would put them down, usually politely.

For me, the major difference in husbandry with PVC is I only have to add water to the subtrate monthly if that, versus weekly or bimonthly with tanks. And, heat is rarely changed with my PVC. Where as I had to keep a steady eye on my heat lamps and adjust them quite often.
