Since you like the look of a tank, and want the ease of a tub, why not check out this reptile cage: http://www.reptilebasics.com/2x3-Cag...h-p-16286.html The snake will never outgrow this cage, you can choose to have the belly heat, get the thermostat and temp gun, you can even get 2 of his small hides! You'll be ready to go and only need to add a water bowl!! Lots of people might not know, or forget, that there are many vendors of reptile cages that are built for ease of husbandry and nice viewing! Hope this helps!!
