I see a lot of people with racks. Now having a rack confuses me (I'm new to all this by about 1 week, my son owns the snake) as it seems to defeat the purpose of having a pet. I can see a rack used for breeding and raising younglings to sell but it doesn't seem to me to be much for 'showing off' your pet. It looks more like a filing (cabnet) system.

I'm pretty sure that people with racks are not inhumane but if that was the first and only thing I knew/saw at first encounter, then that would probably be my initial mindset.

So a question if you please, is the rack a better way to house your pet or is it just a way to store your medals (a glass case of pinned butterflies comes to mind). I'm not trying to start an arguement or condemning anything, I'm just trying to understand the reason for the rack system. Granted, snakes probably will never need a lap pool or a swingset (maybe a trampoline tho') but it just seems a bit wrong to keep them in such small containers.
Thanks for any info and putting up with my newbie-ness.
