I have an 18" licorice stick black rat snake (or white sided black rat). I've been told to keep her in something small like a tupperware container...right now she's in a 29 gallon tank and seems to be enjoying it. I was wondering, what is this with everyone keeping their snakes in these tupperware containers/critter keepers? I mean yes, the snake can fit in there, but is the snake really happy in that? I mean I wouldn't be happy locked in my closet! and the respective sizes would be such that i would have more room in my closet than a snake in a tupperware/kritter keeper. Also when this snake is full grown what is a good size tank for her to be kept in? I was thinkin 55/75 or so, but i've been told the 29 will be fine for her life span. This seems extremly smal to me, I was just wondering what most people think on this issue.



Thanks,Chris
