Well the side of the tubs isn't totally opaque so you can still see it. Plus once it is settled in and eating fine then you can handle it for short periods as long as it doesn't stress the snake.
Also , if that was the only way to keep the fish happy, then that's what most people on here would do and just content themselves with peeking in the tank top every now and again.![]()
Either that or build the tank entirely out of one way mirror glass - we can be quite inventive little so and so's at times.![]()
