I have 90-ish snakes and two leopard geckos. All are in racks/tubs or enclosures built specifically for reptiles. None are in tanks. They are housed so that I can provide them with appropriate heat and humidity as well as an easily-cleaned environment.


Baby snakes like to hide as they are prey. While many adult snake species are ok with a large, airy, open enclosure, ball pythons adults are still pretty small, and they like small, confined spaces. In nature they live underground in termite mounds and they only come out at night to hunt.
So people I have seen with racks have adult snakes that are in racks that are, approx, 12w30d4t. Just Cause they can keep them alive doesn't mean they are thriving. Have you ever been to jail? They keep you alive but is it a life you would choose?
