Hey did you know that in the wild BPs spend most of their lives in a tiny rodent borrow? Did you know that in the wild they generally never go searching for water as they get all they need from their prey? Did you know that many females will never leave the den as long as a rodent happens by once in awhile? Did you know that they feel much more secure and thrive much better in this environment?

Tanks turned into habitats are not "bad" BP homes if done correctly but many of us consider our "tupperware" to be better for both us and the snakes in the long run. We also do not comdemn those who use tanks like you condemn those who do not.

The only snake I have ever had die was a tiny captive hatched baby i purchased 7 years ago this month. It was sick when I got it and died less than 2 weeks later. The 2nd snake I purchased at the same time from the same bin of CH babies lived and is still with me.

When one of my pastels contracted a bad RI last year while in a tank, was moved to a tub, TADAAAAAA he got better so much faster! I had been treating him for weeks in the tank but the moment I moved him into my racks he began eating again and all signs of RI were gone shortly after. Most of mine are in racks now while a select few are housed in boaphile cages. Which are as easy to maintain temps and humidity in, if not more, than racks.
