I just meant that I've never been a fan of having all snakes in a "snake room", not even for hots- & I had many tanks in every room except the kitchen, laundry room & bathrooms.
Funny thing, when I first found that house for sale, the previous owners were into rocks- tumbling them, cracking big piles of geodes in the yard, & all that, & it was easy to picture myself living there because they had glass cases everywhere too, only they were full of rocks instead of snakes.I've never had a rattler (or any other hot) get loose in my house- I'm rather into self-preservation, & definitely not pain.
By having snakes spread out in a house, it also makes it much harder for diseases to spread. I once had a visit from the head snake keeper @ the L.A. Zoo that commented to that effect too. And I knew a few ppl in the herp society that used banks of cages, & sooner or later, they had a terrible time with things wiping out many of their animals. I will always favor glass tanks- they work for me.
I still have the signs I used to have posted on that place: "Rattlesnake on Duty", & "Dead End" (with a picture of a coiled rattlesnake aimed at you, haha)
No one ever broke in though...I can't understand it?
