Do BPs need exercise?

[stratus_020202]

Actually, I'd be interested in hearing a comment from one of the vets, biologists or a herpatologist. For example, we all know that dogs & humans need exercise to stay healthy. What's different in a BP's physiology (cold blooded?) that allows it to stay healthy with little or no exercise.

I'm not a vet, biolobist, or a herpatologist. We eat 3 times a day (more if there is chocolate around), bps only eat once a week (or less). We don't feed them more because they have a very slow metabolism. That's why they sleep a lot.

I think in the wild it's hard for a bp to find a good, regular meal (since thier diet is limited to mostly furry things). So, they have evolved to use less energy, to eat less.

That's my way of thinking
