That is an opinion and racks are not cruel when used properly.
The room my snakes are in get absolutely no sunlight as there is no window (which sux cuz I'm an open the window for fresh air kinda person lol). The only light they get is from my turtle tanks and honestly they have acclimated better than when I had put my first in a tank with lights.
To each their own but just because you don't like them don't say they are cruel, I've seen the difference first hand.
Btw... OP I think it's great, good job!!
