Just so we are fair to Michael, the floor area of his boxes are probably over 400 sq. in. The 28 qt. rubbermaids are about 300, actually less.
Also, wouldn't you agree that BP's often do better in racks than in spacious enclosures?
Floor area non-withstanding, there are hundreds of anecdotes of keepers moving BP's from terrariums into tubs and find they start feeding, etc.
Of course this could be due to numerous factors. Perhaps the humidity or thermal gradiants are better maintained in a rack, but I suspect at least part of it is that the specimens feel better in the tighter, darker quarters. And by tighter I don't necessarily mean less floor area.
