She is kept in a rack system with 48 quart drawers. I feel that is a decent amount of space for her. However, I do take out the gravid snakes more often to help keep them active because I dont think they move around as much in those rack systems as they do in open caging. I worry that lack of exercise will cause them to lose muscle tone which makes breeding issues more likely. As they get to their latter stages though I dont want to bug them too much. The last few weeks of course she is spending all her time just laying in her lay box.



In your opinion, DO you think her housing is an issue?
