What i meant by being "fossorial" is that snakes are very different from horses, dogs or cats. People look at them as some sort of "pet". Which I think is a mistake. They think snakes like attention, being held and given some sort of companionship . This could not be further from the truth and the types of people i am appealing to are thoese that care enough about their snakes to learn from us.
The challenge is educating people, that even though snakes have eyes, a nose and breath air. They are not liken to treated as a "pet". Even fish and antfarms do better in captivity than a snake. Snakes really require better husbandry and until the owner has a better understanding of what its needs are, will they aquire a "green thumb" in keeping them. IMO that is where the true fun and values are in keeping a snake in a box.
