You're looking at it from the point of view of a human. A BP wants to feel safe & secure and while some BPs do well in larger enclosures by no means do all do well in large spaces. In general a BP who roams during the day is considered to be stressed and most of the time making the space smaller or covered or quieter will cause them to calm back down.Originally Posted by rthamilton
My point is that the size of the enclosure doesnt matter if u provide enough hiding places. Not that they need the space or that they will even use it. IF you had nothing to do, that doesnt mean ud wanna be locked in the house. Its nice to know you have freedom if u want it. Fighting for BP freedom everywhere
They are ambush predators who spend 80-90% of their time hiding in the wild in spaces that many think of as being too small for them. They like the feeling of being secure in a dark, tight fitting space. Your opinions of space and freedom do not apply to this animal, only to you. If your biggest concern is providing the ideal environment for a BP then you should stop looking at it from a mammal's perspective.
