Austin, the answers to your questions, all depend on what is important. And who its important to.

This is again why people here "hate" on me here. I look at both sides, what is important to the animal and what is important to us.

I never said, EVER, that the keeper has to do anything they do not want to do.

I do wonder why folks don't want to do some of the stuff that's for the animal.

about your questions. Carpet is directly about the keeper and horrible for the animal.

Being exposed to open air(being up) works against the animals in two basic ways.

Dehydation, open air draws water out of the animal in unnatural ways. Like thru the skin. Desiccation is chronic when exposed to air. Both in captivity and in the field, snakes of all types, avoid desiccation. Gout is a big problem with zoo snakes as they are required to be seen and often have a lot of air space to make viewing better.
