Why do they house......

[Bruce Whitehead]

I tend to figure that it is two things primarily (despite how much research a person does and then dismisses)...

a) They must really like it. I mean I like having room, so my snake is the same.

b) BPs are GREAT display animals! Despite hiding 90% of the time, etc. Sadly this tends to be re-inforced when stressed out hyper active BPs in overly large enclosures spend more of their time pacing than they do hiding. That stress reaction is then percieved as *happy fuzzy snake loves his humongous house*.

I have seen many new owners put their balls in a 55 gallon? Why? I have seen little babies in such a huge tank. I resuced a ball that was in a huge tank, no hides, only heat lamp for warmth. I see this again and again.
