Question:

can My Ball Python Live In A Plastic Tub?

he is 2yrs old he has outgrown his cage, i see people on youtube put there snakes in plastic tubes from like walmart will that be ok? will he be comfortable in that?

Answer:

The Tubs are for breeding purposes. Not for normal housing.
no, i hope your a troll. if not, poor snake.
Perfectly fine, i don;t breed and house my snakes in tubs,not only for space but because it makes everyday husbandry needs a breeze, holding in humidity,keeping a proper gradient and not to mention the height is low so it kind of mimic a constant rodent burrow which is where your ball python will be most of the day in the wild. I have never had a problem with humidity or keeping a proper heat gradient in a tub,but on the other hand everyday people post questions and battle with keeping humidity up in screen top tanks. Tubs are not the prettiest things to look at but they get the job done,and even so if you wanted more of a display animal you should of went with a different snake,ball pythons are not the best display reptiles,they hide most of the day. When you add it all up,the pros on the tuns outweigh the pros on the tank by far,ask any person who actually owns a snake there opinion on this you'll see. And if you need pictures of my tub set up feel free to just ask and i'll gladly send you or post some for you. Good luck!
