Habitat vs Tupperwear

[musicalKeyes]

I have three, and am currently building a rack. I'm not "dumping" them in there, and certainly not for "convenience's sake." When I got my first, I too believed that tanks were better for them, and worked hard to keep the tanks at the perfect humidity and temperature. However, if you know anything of wild BPs, you'll know that while they live in Africa, and while yes, Africa is huge, they live in old burrows and termite mounds, rarely coming out. Tubs are much more conducive to their natural, wild state. And while you do get one that doesn't mind larger, more open areas (I've got one myself), the majority will thrive in tubs. They are nocturnal and prefer small, dark spaces, and we as humans force them into big tanks and bright areas.

I didn't vote. I don't mean to be rude, but every time you post something, you seem to manage to get some jab in there at those of us who keep our animals in tubs, while glorifying you're own way of keeping your animal. Everyone will have different opinions, but it is important, I think, to realize that different snakes and different species do better in different habitats, and it is up to the individual owner to decide how they will keep their animal.
