Yeah, the deal with boxes bothers me, too. I try to give them the biggest boxes I can with lots of interesting crevices and textures, ect, so at least their life in a box is somewhat interesting. I wish I could build a walk in aviary of sorts, like I did with my budgerigars to enable them to fly around and do fun bird stuff. For the snakes a big room with a rock wall and a little stream and natural light; and some way to have it escape proof!

I kill the mice if they can bite the snake as I don't want the snake to get bit in the eye. I have seen wild snakes with bit eyes and other wounds (life is hard in the wild) so I aim for safety, but not have the snakes have a sterile boring life with no interesting things in their habitat.
