Re: found this on kingsnake
You know, these are good points too. Truly, I do not have a clear understanding of what is pleasurable to a snake... I have to remind myself that they are not dogs, they aren't in this for the human companionship, belly rubs and shared pork chops. I do understand that they don't percieve us with any affection.
But... still.... they have to be able to get enjoyment out of sunning, climbing interesting branches, rubbing on different textures, even cuddling with each other... don't they? So life in a barren box has got to get boring... don't you think?? I saw a boa this weekend in the saddest set up... nothing but a water tub. No hide, nothing at all to do, literally a tank with newspapers and a water tub. And he'd been kept like that for 7 years!!!! He doesn't get taken out-- he doesn't get any stimulation. But I guess the question is, does he know he's deprived? I found the whole thing depressing and I think his owner should be ashamed... but maybe I project too much....
