"Answer this.... What kind of life does a snake have in captivity?? In captivity they roam their enclosure if it is large enough, they hide, they drink water, they eat and they breed. What do they do in the wild?"
Besides not having to dodge predators and the dangers of wandering on the freeways, we have to remember that in the wild they have what we are not able to provide for them in captivity, and that is unlimited space. That is a big difference. They are able to roam around and get way more exercise, boosting their metabolism, and burning off their meals more efficiently. I do not recall hearing about many fat and obese snakes in the wild being found. Thus this would make the difference as well between a snake being powerfed and having a limited amount of space to work it off versus a snake that is lucky enough to get a huge supply of food in the wild. So, in all, a life in captivity vs. a life in the wild can be much different. ----- Genesis 1:1
