In about 10 to 15 years when I will retire from breeding the snakes I will keep (handful of BP, and a handful of misc snake species) will remain in tubs it has work for 13 years and will still work than, again the key is that the needs of the species are met.

The geckos I keep will remain in naturalistic environment and I believe both snakes and geckos will have the same quality of life.
Okay, I can respect that 100%. It sounds like you whole heartedly believe you are providing the best care possible for your animals and thats all that matters. I have a hunch that some breeders may do better if their collection was smaller, which is very sad imo.

Also, I hope you're not taking my conversation and replies as confrontation; that is not my intent at all. I appreciate you sharing your opinion on the matter. I see a lot of your posts and its very obvious you have a ton of experience.
