Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Just a quick poll of what you prefer. All of my boas are in thier own seperate boaphiles with decorations to make it seem straight out of the jungle. Its very nice to see their behavior in a place that resembles nature. Not a fan of the newspaper cage that looks like they are some lab specimen. I have nothing against sterile enviroments, breeders really dont have choice plus the cleaning benefits. So what do you guys like better?

Being at home alot recently I have been switching my snakes over from the steril conditions that I have kept them on, to a more natrual look of aspen beeding and artifical plants. I roll around in my chair in my snake room and work on switching them over as the soil the newspaper litter. I have gotten all my Pythons, Corns and other small snakes and Just started working on the non-gravid Boa cages. I must say I do enjoy watching them in the new nicer looking cages (I don't use racks for any of my adult snakes, I like to view them too much) It was funny at first as the yearling boas (never knowing anything but Newspaper) sat ontop of their hide boxes for a couple of days, it looked as if they did not like the feel of the aspen under them.
Thanks

I currently have my boa in a rather sterile cage, but am I big fan of natural vivaria. Most of my other animals are kept in such, with a few differences to adjust for specific needs of course. My monitor lizard won't let plants live more than a day or so
