Wha?

Because we keep OUR snakes in smaller enclosures you will not keep BPs?

Or you will not keep your BP in a smaller enclosure?

Not really sure what you're saying (dramatics aside).

Tubs come in MANY sizes, you can keep your BP in whatever size you want. Just make sure you do some research and are providing an optimal living space for them. And mind that your snake is thriving.

As far as I am concerned, best way for me to make a non-thriving BP and get it back on track is to take their enclosure size down drastically.

You may or may not agree, but keep multiple BPs for long enough and you may change your mind. Or build the biggest enclosure you can manage and if you're successful then great.

But just make sure that you are doing what is right for your animal and not simply what YOU think the snake needs.

I for one get tired of people that insinuate that keepers use smaller enclosures simply to keep more BPs.

EDIT: when you build a rack you decide on shelf height... use larger tubs... use smaller tubs... that is the joy of DIY.
