Nothing wrong with the plexi tank at all as long as roomy enough. Also more appealing if set up nicely. The tubs work for me along with a big metal cattle trough when I house my torts indoors for winter. Its no frills, but gets the job done. I have a baby red and yellow foot, a subadult redfoot, and a pair of russian torts that need to come in in winter LOL!!

Off topic, but while tending the torts this evening (finally got some rain this afternoon HOORAY), I found a baby Gulf coast box turtle in the big redfoot pen that previously housed a pair of Gulf coast box turtles I had last summer!!! Quite a shock!!
