Full Enclosures vs Racks

[satomi325]

If someone could convince me they really do feel better in tubs then that is what I'd want for them. If someone could tell me that they enjoy exploring their enclosure with fake plants and other decor, then I'd be all for that. So I guess what I am saying is, I am on the fence but certainly looking for the input of experienced keepers. I know many of the folks here have made the switch from enclosures to racks. I am learning and like Willie, want what is best for the snakes, not so much for me.

Well. Ball pythons in the wild spend ~90% of their time holed up in a rodent burrow or termite mound. They rarely come out to explore other than to find food, breed, or locate to another hidey spot.

I can't imagine a burrow is very decorated.

I'm not saying to use a rack over naturalistic vivarium, but I don't think they mind the simplistic rack set up too much. Just do what you want and prefer. As long as your animals are healthy, eating, and thriving, its not a huge deal. If an enclosure is too stressful for them, they'll let you know.

Just my $.02.
