No, and not directly related. But since an animal in a small enclosure is less active (presumption), then it would need less calories, hence less food. A young active snake being very active would burn more calories, compared to a similar snake in a shoebox, therefore needing more food.



All this came to mind when my wife suggested I put my 2 corns in my 75 gallon tank. Then noticed my male has gotten plump on 2 mice a week. He's on a minor diet now. lol



But it made me think my psycho male would probably be all over the tank burning calories. And then my mind wandered to my 2 new baby blood reds. Would they, or any young snake, have a better chance to maximize their size "safely", by being more active and therefore needing more food in a bigger enclosure. Then it wandered to the mass breeding of corns in tubs, and realized no one seems to be sporting a record length corn from CB. Even though the number of corns being bred is HUGE..

Then my mind wandered to the cartoon channel!



Oh yea, my male bloodred is truly insane. He strikes food like a blood python. He never stops rattling his tail once you open teh lid. And just forget about handling him without getting bit.

I love the little bugger!
