Have you even read the thread? I never said there is anything wrong with tubs. My Gaboon vipers are in tubs right now...Originally Posted by Deborah
I NEVER said they were hard to keep I am sure that even you could keep one as long as you meet your criteria in bold, I just pointed out how RIDICULOUS you sounded trying to tell people who have thriving animals how they should keep their animals and why.
And why should they keep them like that again? Because of your experienced on the subject matter and the fact that you know better?
Can you prove to me that they would thrive better in a natural environment? (which btw good luck with re-creating a thermite mount in your enclosure).
The fact is YOU never kept any BP or other snake in tubs and yet you are positive that people doing so are just wrong so again who are you to tell people their way is the wrong way? (Not that I care btw)
I am not the judgmental one here rubbing people the wrong way talking about something I have no experience with (You have no experience with BP and no experience keeping BP in tubs) and being condescending to them because they do not do what you deem acceptable.
I will say it again I do not care how one's keeps his animal so long their need are met.
Just because i haven't kept them myself doesn't mean i don't know anything about them. My friends keep and breed them, i know more than my fair share thanks. It's all opinion at the end of the day, i think my way is right and the others wrong. Simple as, it's not a big deal.
I used 'burrowers' loosely, as they like to bury themselves in the substrate and just leave their heads exposed.
I'm not denying that anyone with half a brain cell can keep hots. But you give a nasicornis or rhinoceros/gabonica to someone inexperienced it's quite likely it will end up dying, give royal to someone inexperienced and 99% of the time it will be fine. You obviously don't know anything about Bitis as a genus by your statement "They are slow and sluggish".
