    Re: Big snakes, small enclosures.

    if you dont have the space to house 40 retics, rocks and burms
    you shouldnt have them, retics, rocks and burms dont need extreme big cages but the way brian does it is animalcruelty in my eyes........
    its all about breeding/popularity and lots of money i think....

    Re: Big snakes, small enclosures.

    Yea I mean I love the big guys and I am hoping and praying to be able to produce some of my own but with all the news laws there either going to be banned or regulated and once that happens it will slow down on there popularity. I mean lets face it not everyone is cut out for big snakes. There alot of people that own snakes that shouldnt be able to keeps balls and corns not mentioning burms,rocks,retics,and condas lol

    No offense I think they are great people and all. I was just wondering if anyone else felt this way.

    Have any one of you ever actually been to BHB, met Brian, viewed the snakes in question, seen their setups? Well I have. I didn't see any snakes stuffed into too small enclosures. I saw healthy animals doing just fine. Rack after rack, tub after tub, I was allowed to look at, open or have Brian open anything I wanted to see without question.

    So again my question, before you decide someone of Brian's experience is doing it all wrong and you should judge him so harshly in a public forum, have you actually been at the BHB facility and based your judgement on your own personal experience there?

    As it so happens I have been there and my assessment of the situation is the same as yours. I saw beautiful animals being conscientiously cared for by a serious crew of keepers.Brian is rightly proud of his facility and urged me to go wherever I wanted and to look at what ever I wanted.

    Re: Big snakes, small enclosures.

    than how could it be that the whole internet is full of short movies and pics of very large retics and rocks etc in very very small tubs from brian?????
    i dont have doubts about his experience or something but i do not agree with the way he works with them, the picture in this topic with that giant in that tub with enough room for her and a watertub says enough for me, and i saw many more pics and movies of snakes in to little tubs and racks at brians facillity's

    If you watch the video brian himself says the cages in question are to small. The rock in that cage can barely move. BUt he also said he was purchasing 8 foot cages. I think brians a great guy and dont have a problem with him. BUt he knows the cages are to small.
