Then answer why.
Side question, does a snakes activity level (active species or inactive) increase or decrease when placed into a larger than "recommended" enclosure. For example an adult male ball python gets kept in a 75 gallon decorated tank with stuff to crawl on, now let's do that with a Rosy Boa, a bull snake, a corn and a milk snake, any other 20-40gallon recommended species. Do they take advantage of the room, if so does this affect feeding needs/other husbandry things. If not, then why don't they take advantage of the space"?
Does getting your snake out to handle them increase metabolism? One would have to assume. Has anyone ever tried putting an unwilling feeder on an exercise program by taking them out and getting them moving? Literally just brain storming here. Does anyone have an exercise program for any of there herps in the interest of preventing obesity? I know of some people who give beardies a shallow bath to help with sheds, does this double as extra exercise/stimulation that can help improve husbandry?
I'm out of Doritos so I don't have the energy to talk about exercise anymore.
