I think tubs are fine if they are large. I don't agree with full grown ball pythons is sweater boxes. When I had my ball pythons, I kept them in tubs, too. Four foot tubs. I think if space and welfare of the animals aren't the priorities of a keeper, they shouldn't keep animals.
My enclosures, for emerald tree boas, which is what we are talking about, not green tree pythons or ball pythons:
Here's one before adding branches.

Can you show me your ETB set ups? |
The first two pics I took out but they look like 2 foot enclosures from those angles...guess 4 foot isn't what everyone needs.
We aren't talking ball pythons but you brought humans and ALL snake species into the argument with your first "rebuttal" so I went with the snake argument. I don't think you should be talking about "welfare" of animals when you're multi-housing snakes in what SHOULD be only for a single specimen especially of solitary lifestyle.
I admit it by the way, I'm a snake farmer. I keep my snakes in proper set-ups so I can breed them and "harvest" their young. My animals are fed on a proper diet, housed in correct sized tubs and live out a solid, thriving life, where they can move around. They don't get sick, they don't have bad sheds so I don't see what I'm doing wrong.
I'm still waiting for your written sources of medical issues with smaller enclosures with all snakes. I guess you don't. Thanks for playing.
