Pet Owner vs Breeding

[Neal]

Wrong.

Of course your Ball Python is going to "care" because the choices you make in your enclosure are going to effect its hygiene, temperature/humidity, security and safety.

Have you put any time into researching what these animals do in the wild? Are you aware they are mostly nocturnal ground dwelling animals? Putting a nocturnal animal into an all white enclosure is practically abusive. White reflects too much ambient light.

There are multiple ways to care for snakes but there certainly are RIGHT ways and WRONG ways.

For the record - my snakes are pets. 3 are in tubs. 1 is in a display tank. 1 never gets handled. 2 get handled occasionally like once or twice a month and the last one gets handled a few times a week and is allowed to free range a bit in the snake room.

Not all breeders are large scale, multi rack operations. Many pet owners breed their pets too. Many of the large scale people consider all their snakes to be pets. There's more over lap than you think.

I wouldn't pay too much mind to them voodoo. You'd think they're a pro who knows more than an all of us combined. The snake whisperer.
