Hello all this may have been asked and answered before yet I cannot find the thread, sorry if this is a repeat.

What are the effects on your snake if any by keeping them in a rack system (Specifically plastic tubs, not rack systems that hold glass tank after glass tank)?

My thoughts: It seems they wouldn't have ample room to really get comfortable or move around and explore, there's not usually 2 hides at each end (atleast in the majority of pics I've seen), does a rack allow for thermal gradients or is it just an overall temp? Does the temperament of the snake change, maybe they prefer it because there's less going on around them or at least what they can pick up on? Anything else I forgot to ask that you wanna chime in about feel free.

I know that racks obviously work and are a necessity I'm just confused as to how/why that works and when there's so much emphasis on good husbandry (different temps, 2 hides, water dish, plants etc...) I also know that everyone's snake racks are different, I'm asking for a general fyi on the subject.

Thanks in advance
