for quite a while ive been annoying members with my many questions to do with snakes...
so here is another....
with habitating snakes,pythons in particular
what is the better way ?
is it a full display cabinet...where you see the python any time you want & the python can see out?
or is it a tub...where they python isnt disturbed..but not seen or heard?,so to speak
i can see the debate for either way...
but am interested in the opinions of keeper & more so breeders of the pythons
most of information concerned im relating to a CapeYork Blonde Mac...if that helps
hoping i get opinions.....not wanting a debate! please!!!!

Hatchies will do better in a small mostly opaque click clack as it will allow them to feel more secure. As they snake gets older it will become more confident and there is no reason why it cannot be kept in a glass fronted enclosure. |

|  | Subscriber | | | | | I prefer my snakes to live in enclosures, they get used to seeing things around them, such as us and I feel so much better knowing i have created an environment for my snakes rather that something to live in, then I also can enjoy looking at them, i dont see the point in having them personally (for myself) if i locked them away and couldnt see them.
They are not money makers for me they are pets.

the only need for click-clacks is if you are breeding and have too many snakes for display tanks. and if the snakes are small enough. |
