Tanks vs tubs?

[Zincubus]

A lot of it is personal preference.

Proper Husbandry is the main concern regardless of what you house your noodle in. Making sure the temps and humidity are good while making sure there is a sense of security for the snake.

My oldest girl is 18. Half of her life was in a tub. The last half has been in a nice big tank. She does well. She's only fussy about food and will only eat live. Activity and such doesn't bother her and she will come out to explore from time to time

Out of my three yearlings, one is a spitfire. She has to be housed in a tub because she will strike at everything and anything that moves. Initially I had her in an exo-terra, she's my fancy girl I wanted to have in a nice display tank...but then had to cover her it with a blanket as she decided to coil up on a driftwood branch and play angry tree python at anything moving. Her tub has made it much easier to deal with as she cannot see what's going on.

The tubs can be a bit easier to maintain humidity on, a big plus.
But if you really want to show a snake off, obviously the visibility sucks.

Choose what you want! But do right by the snake is the most important part!

You make some great points .... shame about your display snake not doing well in the tank /viv but at least it's settled now .

I've only ever used tanks and vivs and never had any issues with any of my Royals ...so it can be achieved with most of them .
Sure with tubs it's easier to keep the humidity levels right but humidity can be controlled / adjusted in tanks and vivs - it's just a little harder .


All my snakes including 3 Royals are in lovely , landscaped vivs and do really well feeding and shedding perfectly... so it can be achieved .

At my peak I had 24 display snakes all species/types and can't imagine not being able to watch and observe them ...
