I never said you were a "savage snake abuser." Im fine with a rack. I own one. Its not my first choice but I understand their use and purpose.Originally Posted by Mangiapane85
Well they're all in a rack now, so I guess they won't be climbing anytime soon.
I get your point man. All of them. Your snakes are display animals, mine aren't. The ball pythons anyway. That being said, I interact with my snakes on an every other day basis. They get plenty of exercise. And I'm fully aware that they have the ability to climb. I'm not some savage snake abuser just because my snakes are kept in a rack and they have "nothing" to do. I love my animals just as much as you do.

The issue I had is you were stating observations of snakes that are fairly new to you in an enclosure that did not allow for them to show you the action you were disputing. You were shown and told by members with plenty of real world observation and experience that Balls are known to climb at times but you stood firm in what appeared to be a belief they only live in a termite mound and others(me) need to "study the species." Maybe one day once you have been a long time member you will see a similar thread and see exactly how you came off to others as a newer keeper and member.
I welcome you here and I truly do not wish to be an "opposing force" to you. You seem to be a great snake owner and are putting together a nice collection in a nice snake room. You have the passion and that is easy to see. I don't wish to be an enemy to anyone here and only look to help others however I can.
I think we can now agree that a Ball will and can climb if they need but it is not their primary activity and are much more at home on the ground.
