Jeff,

you have lost all credibility with me, your last post was so bad it was deleted! My snakes have hides, small ones where they can feel secure and safe. in fact my pueblan is in one of those right now digesting its meal from last night. they also have a choice of hides with different temps and humidities. i don't expect the snake to display itself on a nice rock for my viewing pleasure, however i do keep other colubrids, and they do move about at night and in the evening. In its natural environment i would expect that the snake would roam about a bit during periods when it is normally active. and i have seen some of that with my pueblan in its tank. I don't know what your motivation is for keeping snakes is but i suspect you are a breeder. so stacks of deli cups and rope lights, probably make sense for you. My snake is a pet so a naturalistic type setup with a minimum of plastic is preferred. and yes watching said pet interact with its environment is part of that. You do what works for you, but don't tell me again to stuff my snake into a plastic cup for two years.
