explanation on tubs?? plzz

[Stewart_Reptiles]

idk how a tub can offer that much head room. maybe im not picturing a big enough tub.

Ball Pythons are ground dwellers and height is not necessary, the tubs most people use are about 6 inches high and they are working perfectly for ball pythons

also can u explain the back heating(not right term)...is that basically a uth slapped on the side of the tank/tub/vivarium??

It basically works the same way, you use a UTH or flexwatt heat tape and a thermostat, to help maintain proper temps and avoid over-heating.

In most cases I would recommend belly heat over back heat (back heat would require a heated room with table temps year round)

This is a 15 quarts quarentine tub but you get the idea



This type setup allows you to easily maintain temps and humidity providing your animal with optimal security.

Personally if u only have one bp, a tub setup is probably not something you'll want unless your trying to save space. Tubs are used mainly to save space, they are not very visually appealing. Ball pythons typically just chill on the ground or in their hides which makes a tub great because most are not too deep. If you only have one, he likes to climb, and space is not an issue I wouldnt consider a tub until you get more(which you will)

It is not about space it is about providing the proper environment for your snake whether you have one or 10 it does not matter.

They're are different way to keep BP and I don't see why 1 BP could not be kept in a tub.

As far as not being visually appealing this does not matter (I am pretty sure the snake does not care )
