>>>This isn't an indictment of the choice method just realization of the fact that not everything these animals do in our charge is based on the environment we provide.

i STRONGLY disagree and believe EVERYTHING these animals do in our charge IS based on the environment we provide.
go ahead and indict the choice method if you think you can tony ga,head bring on the indictments maybe you can succed where others have failed maybe you and others who cannot GRASP the "choices" method can finally shine in your triumph of poor husbandry practices....like poor to no temp&humidity gradients, controlled weekly feedings, solitary confinement, etc. etc.
see choices provide a keeper insight as to what the snake wants/needs to thrive in captivity, PERIOD.
choices will show a keeper what temps&humidity levels the snakes prefer, grouping/bonding shows a keeper behavioural aspects he/she otherwise would not experience. shouldnt every keeper experience/learn as much as they can and then provide for their charges accordingly tony?
as a very dedicated ophidiaphile i want my snakes to be happy and strongly feel it is my and every keepers duty to at the very least provide as much as i/we can for them. to make their captive life as pleasant as possible.
is not keeping coldblooded animals that metabolize food and growth with temps and humidity at static temps kind of cruel? howsa bout solitary confinement?
howsa bout deciding how much food and when?
for some its an obvious control issue(i are smrt and i know whats best mentality)
for me and others its about the snakes and allowing the snakes to choose, simple.
