Rack v. Vivarium?

[gregmonsta]

Great post shannon ... ... you might want a nightcam for the BPs ... a friend of mine would always catch his out when he went for a midnight snack ... he'd get to his living room, flip the light on and his 'boring' snake would be climbing about apparently on a mission .... I think all snakes need and deserve space ... yes you might give a large python a room and it may not seem to move >>> but does that mean we should keep it in a snake + water bowl sized plastic tray? ... I say nay ... in fact in my opinion it's just as bad as battery farming in context.

well actually, I should have mentioned in my earlier post that i want to sell that rack system and replace it with a viv stack. i just thought I had already said enough

I don't really like the rack, except its convenient for rearing babies and isolating individuals.

I would have to say in my very limited experience that I prefer vivariums. I just can't think they would be as happy in a rack system as a really well done viv with lots of room to roam. Granted my two snakes prefer to remain fairly sedentary. Except for feeding time of course when they go wild after each bite. But that's just my humble opinion. And James, I love your viv wall. That's a very impressive and very well done construction!
