Well I can see liking a cramped AREA but why a cramped overall space? The husbandry guidelines are mostly based on the native habitat but not in this case. It is true they spend the *majority* of their time in small hides but you don't hear much about how much actual territory they cover. I would agree that they probably move about mostly for food which isn't an issue in captivity. But, just because they are mostly sedentary doesn't mean they don't benefit from exercise at all. So, my BP is happy to spend 95% of his time in an area 1/4 the size available to him. BUT....when he does come out to roam he basically has to go in circles. That is when I feel bad for him.
