All enclosures should have hides if thats what you meant by removing the tub, I recommend keeping it in there. BP's arent really good being able to watch them move about the cage whenever you please. BP's are much happier when they can hide if they choose to (most of the time). My father in Law loves my snakes so much he went to a show and bought one (normal female) he got upset when all it did was hide, Im sure itll be in my house soon enough, he already bought a tegu (something that he can enjoy watching/handling)
