That's an excellent video...I truly hope anyone considering keeping one of these (or anyone who already is) will incorporate all the suggestions he made. I find it
really sad to see ppl who cannot resist buying such a snake & are then unable to provide an optimal enclosure of the size & height recommended, also with a serious
water feature. I guess this is why I think most of these beautiful captive giants belong in a zoo where they can be afforded a room-size habitat...I know some keepers
can manage this kind of set-up, but not most. Nice to see some really lean retics too, the way they should be.
Retics aren't the only snakes that dig being in the trees, & if retics are too big for you, or impractical for your budget, how about a nice rat snake? One that gets
about 6-7' (or even 9-10') is much easier to provide for & manage, & a good many rat snakes love the tree branches too.Arboreal snakes are fun to watch.
