Oh and let me add, they dont always market good products. Remember the whole fiasco with coil type UVB that werent coated properly to save a buck and they were releasing very low UVB into the UVC light wave. They were causing blindness in basking reptiles. I know Zoo Med was one of the culprits. So, i wouldnt trust reptile supply manufacturers 100%. Do your own research and make sure what you are going to purchase is safe.

And i agree, snakes in captivity are unable to experience a natural balance which is why i also say i bet 80% of keepers worldwide over feed their snakes which is why you see so many huge fat stuffed sausages with people bragging how they got a 10 ft boa that is 2 years old lol.

I see where you're coming from. It probably isn't needed for their survival but I think if it's something that might be beneficial even a little bit and I can afford it then I don't see a reason for not using it.

I think the same about using racks. Snakes will obviously survive in racks but I don't believe they offer the best quality of life compared to a vivarium. Nor would I enjoy keeping a snake in a rack. I would also say night time temp drops may be beneficial.

That said, I do see how it makes sense financially if someone is a breeder to omit Reptisafe and temp drops for simplicity (outside of breeding) and to use racks.
