I know what you mean nenna, personally would rather have less snakes with bigger vivs BUT i totally understand the logistics of breeding and keeping lots of animals as well.

temporary till I get the actual rack built, the weather won't cooperate with that! lol

Sure they aren't pleasing to OUR eyes but we shouldn't be keeping pets a certain way just to please ourselves. I use tubs because my ball pythons do best in them. Pure and simple.

Tubs also work better with baby that have high humidity requirements. Over the years i had 4 Bloods/Borneos the first two were keep in glass cages. Both die in under 2 months. Third one i kept in a custom it die in under a month. I could never keep the humidity up and babies are very touchy. Fast forward 10 years. I read a article about a breeder who kept all of his in tubs till they turn two. So i figure i give it another try. There's a lot more info out there than there was 10 years ago. Well i have a female Borneo that is now going on two years old. When she gets a litter bigger like all my snake they will be move to Boaphile cages like in my previous post.

Plus i don't use heat lamps. I found out that part of why i couldn't keep the humidity up.

lol, gonna have to agree there shaun. much less interesting when you can't see what the snakes are doing all the time. it's nice when you get a snake that doesn't stress too bad so you can observe what's going on all the time without it getting pissed.

I'm contemplating keeping my next retic in a tub for the first year or so, shame to hide it but it is in their best intrest.

I would think twice about keeping a retic in a tub for very long. I find that they tend to nose rub a lot. I would go with PVC enclosures.

I've never had any of my non breeder males get nose rub, the females and juvies tend to be fine in whatever you put them in aslong as they can climb around.
