Racks vs Cages

[enginee837]

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like BPs deserve a better and richer environment than just a rack type of home. I enjoy being able to see my angels exploring, climbing, basking, and hiding. It also allows me to keep an eye on them without disturbing them (to monitor temps and humidity). I prefer the large tanks because they are also more aesthetically pleasing. Of course not everyone agrees and some people are fine with stuffing snakes in drawers (lol), but I think they deserve better than that. Just my two cents.

I have noticed bp's raised in racks (the ones we have purchased from breeders) tend to stress and strike at the glass for quite a while. Not being able too see out of their cage for so long then all of the sudden having a front row seat to a world much larger than their own takes some adjusting. Once adjusted they do great, they don't even stay in their hides all the time.

I can't help to think the lack of stimulus leaves something to be desired but to each his/her own.
