Cage size for different species

[Bogertophis]

I never have understood the "too big tub" thing. Too big enclosure to correctly regulate temp&humidity, sure. Too big to eliminate small gaps hatchlings can escape through, ok. But they have a natural home range size of at least a few thousand square meters, no tub is "too big" if you provide appropriate close-contact hides and enrichment.

I'm with you. I can understand the concept for BP's that prefer to hide & hunt by ambush, but corn & rat snakes (along with many other kinds) are not lazy loafers,
they like to explore & will do so given the opportunity. Climbing on branches is both appealing for them & helps their development, for the same reason that human kids
crawl around & experience their world. Physical skill development translates to better brain function...fitness affects the whole creature, no matter what kind. Enriching
their enclosures with things to explore & climb is a major plus.
