What breed of snake is my snake

[Mikoh4792]

We don't imitate nature when it comes to snake husbandry. We provide suitable conditions and usually give them a steady diet of a particular food item. In captivity, the point is health and longevity, not survival. In nature there are predators, other animals that co-exist with our snakes not to mention live prey items that could seriously injure or kill our snakes, disease, lots of space compared to the "x" ft by "x" ft boxes we give them, rain, floods...etc. There are so many variables in nature that we exclude in captivity. If we were to imitate nature, our snakes would probably not live very long. Nature is a constant struggle where only the fit survive. It's not a haven which provides what is best for our snakes. The "best" is what we should provide in captivity.
