Habitat vs Tupperwear

[David802]

I think you all know I hate it when snakes have to live in plastic bins. For those who just have a snake or two I want to make a poll to find out if you made a nice comfy habitat for your snake to live in or you dump it in plasticwear for convience sake.

Breeders don't have to reply. That's a whole different thing.

For those how use a habitat you can post pictures here too if you want.

This is directed at your other post as well talking about wild snakes having a choice as well but I can't be bothered to go find it. I really am surprised that I waisted enough of my time typing this.

I am curious to know if you actually have a phd in animal psychology or are you just making assumptions here as to what the snake prefers, or even better did your snakes come out and tell you " Arsinoe I cant stand those small scranny tubs I want a nice big open enclosure that allows me to roam and be free and forget the fact that I'm a confined animal in a small enclosure that had no choices in my life, even though I Feel threatened in large open spaces and don't have a large enough brain to recognize the difference between Africa and the bin in my owners bedroom".

Also if its so wrong to put a snake in a tub then why are breeders excluded from your arrogant rant? How many snakes do I need to get before its ok to "dump them in plasticwear for convience"... 15 maybe or how about a nice even 50 that's a nice round even number. Are you planning on forming the "No trashy cheep plastic tubs for lazy owners coalition" are you going to start recruiting members and making laws about how I can handle my pet in my home? As long as the snakes comfortable, eating, crapping and shedding why is it any of your business.

Before I get more irritated about your attitude let me throw in that my Medusa lives in a 64 quart plastic tub. However, I plan on getting more snakes and don't have room to put the 12-15 snakes I'd like to one day own in there own individual tubs so eventually I'll be moving to a "plasticwear for convience" set up. I don't care if you think housing snakes in plastic tubs is wrong. If you don't want to do it then more power to you. But HOW DARE YOU try talking down to someone else and judge them because of the setup they chose for there snake! Maybe if you got off your high horse you'd realize that there are a TON of really good reasons to house BP's in tubs, and just because it doesn't conform to your idea of whats right doesn't make it wrong!

There I've had my angry rant about your attitude and arrogance. I'm done now, I don't want to turn this into a flaming war but seriously! If you want to know how many beginners/single snake owners house there snakes in tubs V habitats then ask that. There is no reason to act superior about it.
