I really appreciate the comments.

I like "rewarding" my favs by putting the into the big tank for a few weeks or month, so they can stretch out and wander if they choose.

It may be stressful to them in the end, I dont really know - and I may be a snake dummy, but the sight of them crawling around, snooping and exploring like you said; "from hide to hide " makes me feel good for them.

Also, with all the enclosures, I try and vary the temps, humidity and such. I may make it a really hot day sometimes (like almost 100) then I end the day with a cooling and torrential downpour.. Sometimes I let it drought for a week or two (I will even let the water bowl dry out for a day or so..nothing dangerous but like it must be in the wild for them), then make it rain on them and refill their bowls..they seem to come out after these climactic changes to explore..
