Will They Miss Their Space?

[littleindiangirl]

My friends and family (don’t have snakes or know much about them) think is mean to keep them in such a "tiny" tub. I hate that people think they need tons of space like 55g tanks. Glad to hear my snakes wont HATE me for the downsize though.

Many people push our human emotions onto animals. It's good for sake of treating animals humanly, but when it comes to "feelings" I can't say I believe snakes can "feel" something for their surroundings or keepers. I think they can feel safe and secure, or fear and unsafe. With these animals, it's well documented that they sleep all day in small burrows, and come out at dawn and dusk primarily to feed. I think most people will agree with the idea that these snakes do very well in the tub or rack.
