Hello all,
Just joined this forum, after perusing it for awhile. This subject is very important to me, as I can't seem to understand why breeders, with all of that money at their disposal, who can get tax write offs from constructing enclosures, choose to keep their giants in these god awful tubs. It's easy. It's inexpensive. Blah, blah. You've got nothing to do all day but take care of your animals, it's your job. Do it right.
Anyone who says these snakes don't need room and don't move have obviously never kept giants (or have much interaction with any of their snakes). If you have a giant, open the cage and leave it open. You will quickly see how much they like to move, and how often they do so. Now I am not actually recommending the mass release of giant snakes, just trying to make a point. Same holds true for any snake. Why do we try so hard to make our enclosures escape-proof? Because they will move...
