I've been saying this for a long time.

Wallace looks amazing Gio. Cool video too. It's great to see these animals in their natural habitat but try as we might we just can't replicate nature. While it would be great to have a 20x10x10 enclosure it's just not very practical for most people. My largest snakes should max out at 10-12 ft. when they're fully grown. I can only give them 8x2x2 or 6x2x4 enclosures. I don't think they're being mistreated but I'll admit I sometimes feel badly for keeping them confined to such a small space and have asked myself if it's selfish to do so even though most times they're just laying on a perch or shelf waiting for food. I do try to get them out for some exercise at least once a week and I recently had a 4x2x6 pvc jungle gym built so they can climb a bit more.

I agree Zig.

I'm at the max with Wallace. His water area is unfortunately not a swimming area and I just can't provide one. He's fairly topped off and likely between 8.5 to 10 feet. He uses his cage, every bit of it and does cruise through the water now and then.

They are very active when they are lean.

I like seeing videos like this. I often check for boa constrictor videos in the wild and find a lot of them show the boas in trees.

I'm really looking forward to reading Nick Mutton's new book. I'm sure the arboreal habits of carpets and scrubs will be mentioned in it.
