When I had a Pueblan, I found that he came out to stroll around, sit on things, soak in the water bowl, etc. often enough that I at least could usually SEE him each day without having to specifically dig him up, when I was keeping him in a tub, but not when I kept him in a tank. it was big tub, with lots of floor space, and it was clear plastic, but it was nonetheless a tub. The top was low and was one solid color, rather than open screen, so I guess he felt like he had enough overhead cover to feel secure. I've seen others that seemed to be fine in tanks, but tanks did not work for him. Low-ceilinged clear tubs did. Just saying.
The only thing about tubs I don't like is that they're harder to escape-proof than tanks because the plastic is flexible. What I did was cut a rectangle frame out of plywood so I had smething non-flexible on top that I coul;d weight easily. Others can no doubt suggest something a bit less technologically illiterate, but it worked.
