Snake racks

[kueluck]

I don't understand why people would use a rack system for anything living, except maybe bugs. That's like putting someone in isolation and that's done as punishment!! No living creature deserves that. IMO.

If I could, I would let mine have run of the house.

If having one snake in a tub is solitary confinement, then isn't putting three in a tank just like being in the general population (still in a prison)? I know garters are social, but many other snakes kept in captivity are not. They prefer to be in a warm, safe place where food is abundant.... And many owners who want what is best for them use racks. It really does depend on the species, not our own projections onto the animal.
