People just usually give a longer box, so thats why it looks different to those of us who keep our big guys in standard housing.

    Be careful letting him roam. Crazy neighbors can call the cops and if they believe there is a chance your animal could escape they can have animal control take him.
    I think if the snake likes to climb that its okay.. i mean.. thefact they spend all thier time on the ground or not, doesnt matter

    you gotta remember these are captive animals. in the wild they dont go into trees becuase the mice ect, aka thier food is on the ground

    in captivity, they learn that they dont need to be on the ground, and they dont need to even move to get food, it comes to them, usually the same day ever 7 days or every 10 - 14 days

    So treating snakes like they are in the wild is kinda stupid in captivity....
