Question for those who you barren tubs

[Jmarshall]

I'm happy to keep snakes in tanks and terrariums when I know they do well in them,,.

I’m glad you give your snakes the option of living in the biggest enclosure possible, that they feel comfortable in.

And again.. I believe I have stated 4 or 5 times that there is nothing wrong with tubs or racks! Lol. I have a problem when they are much too small for the animal and have no enrichment.. hides, cover, a small branch or whatever else.

I heard the comment “the entire rack acts as a hide”. What about what the snake wants to leave the hide then? It can’t.

I’m my eyes.. having actual substrate, room to move around, things to crawl over, places to actually hide etc.. takes a tiny bit more work, and can be nothing but beneficial to the snake. It is unfortunate when that decision is made for our own convenience.

I simply presented the material to the group, I happen to agree with a lot of it, and noted there are studies of animals (who’s brain are similar and I would presume work in a similar way) that benefit from enrichment in a very serious way.

Take from it what you will.
