This is a rather bold statement to make. How have you come to the conclusion that a tiny box is what's best for the snake? What makes you so sure that life in a tiny box atop newspaper is what's best for a captive? Have you ever experimented with offering exactly the opposite?
"our snakes live, eat, breed, and make generations of generations in tubs. thats reults Tom! reason enough for us to continue keeping our snakes successfuly in tubs!"

WHO are you quoting? I don't have anything currently in "tubs" and I've never bred anything in a sweater box lol. It's not unusual for me to have a 5 inch baby something or other in a tub for awhile while I'm getting them started but I think you are quoting someone else. I also never use newspaper. I think for most species it's cruel not to provide a burrowing substrate.
Also, I know quite a few gator keepers that like me a lot. Those types of generalizations are ..well...generalizations. If they dislike someone just because that person keeps snakes and they want to assume the worst, it's they that have the issues and are missing out on being friends with a lot of really cool people.
