    Thanks Aleesha! What you said was right on the money, they keep only the tiny babies ( milk, corn, and kings) in a warm cabinet in deli cups. They have little water crocks and paper towels to hide. The rest they keep in the big vision tanks, or glass ones. It is called East Coast Reptiles in FL.

    others who need higher temps are kept differently... but all in all... depending on how fast they turn their snakes over... may depend on how they keep them.

    and that cabinet looks like a contained space... perhaps it keeps the temps nice and warm?

    obviously, i don't have any answers, only questions since i've never visited the store nor have i ever spoken to the owner or employees. making rash judgements really is unfair joe.

    Aleesha,i understand how you feel,i was really going by my experiances with pet stores that keep little snakes in delicups forever.I feel its worse to keep them in the delicups then actually keeping several in a 10gal tank.I am not saying either is a correct way but at least they are able to move in the 10gl.

    really? hmmm... i don't know about that. the little guys alone, safe, non stressed in the deli cups at my local petstore don't bother me at all.

    oh well... we can agree to disagree :P
