....a snakes enclosure doesn't effect it's growth rate at all. Snakes continue to grow to thire adult size regardless of the size of the cage. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN...not the opposite as you stated.



Do you honestly think that a retic will stay small if kept in a 10 gallon tank forever? No, it will bust the sides out and keep growing. And the same snake is not going to get any larger if kept in a small room for it's entire life. The factors that effect growth rate are genetics, food supply, and metabolic rates, along with temp, and other environemntal factors.....but not cage size.
