As a breeder I provide my snakes the things they need to live well, heat, safety, food, water, vet care as needed, ect ect. When it comes the which is better for my animals my only gauge is my understand and years of experience when it comes to Python regius behaviours. I can tell you that there hasn't been anything in my almost decade of keeping experience that has lead me to believe that things like fake rocks, or natural substrate play any roll in the quality of life for the animals. I can only speak for Ball Pythons so keep that in mind. I believe that in the wild studies have shown that Python regius seeks out the same enviromental factors I provide in a rack system. Now can they be offered in a natural enclosure as well but to say that one out weighs the other is impossiable..
I'll leave the natural enclosure to my customers who spend their hard earned money on great looking snakes and rightly so want to show off their pride and joys in the most visually pleasing way possiable..
