How do YOU know that your snake has a better quality of life than my animals in tubs (and it's not Tupperwear, btw).Originally Posted by Arsinoe
I've never pretended to like bins for animals. Sure the tanks are more work, but they can have a better quality of life in then and not just exist in a plastic world. The wild guys at least have a choice to hide in a hole, but they also have the choice to come out when they want also. Pet snakes don't have any choices other than what we give them and I just do not agree in a sterile plasticine lifestyle for any living creature.

I don't care if I were keeping a single animal - my very first was kept in a "habitat" and went on fast for eight solid months. The week after I "dumped" him into a properly set up tub where he felt more secure, he started to eat. Moved him back to the tank - fasted again, back to tub - ate every week. Which "quality of life" was better for him?
You do manage to offend with your posts, quite often, by seeming to look down at those who choose to put their snake's needs before our own human desires to anthromorphize our animals and put human emotions and needs on them.
