>Yet in captivity, we(all of us) have listless overweight snakes. And we take away everything that would allow them to be active trim healthy. We do not allow exercise(sweater boxes), we keep them at the lowest possible temp, we feed them on a schedule, that does not reflect anything of the snakes natural stradgy.<

Maybe we shouldn't be keeping them in captivity?

Or if we choose to, adjust our expectations?

Does being subjected to natural weather conditions/cycles do more for them than we realize?
