Re: Right or wrong?

the truth is that there is very little scientific research goes into these things, most of it is trial and error, at best allot of it is educated guess work, and once people find something that seems to work, they are not open to new ideas

I have noticed more and more, that even in the face of scientific evidence, peoples ideas are hard to challange (take the UV-Varanid debate for eg, despite scientific study showing improved immune response with UV, many still dismiss it)


However, I think that following the guidelines which have been developed over the years, is a good starting point


Personally I believe that keeping snakes, or any other reptile, in a tub, for any purpose other than quarantine, is ethically questionable, especially when it is for the purposes of battery farming said reptiles.

and as said, each animal is different, even within the same species, its important to listen (by observing behavior) to an animals needs and provide for it accordingly
