leaving hide box for food

[TRD]

I saw your viv, that is not how you make a carpet thrive in captivity...

Try something like this:


You seem to have a great misunderstanding about the snake you keep and it's needs & requirements.

- Small box with no light is no way to keep this snake, snakes aren't blind, specifically pythons which can see all the way from UV to IR spectrum of light.

- Only heating 50% of the hide box is no way to heat a snake

- Assuming because during breeding season temperatures go down to 10C that this is fine any given day of the year is incorrect

- Assuming newspapers as substrate provide ample enrichment to the animal and trigger exploratory behavior is wrong

- Last time I saw your viv it was air sealed with no ventilation

- Last time I saw your viv it was an empty space with 2 branches, a hide, and a plastic bucket for water


I don't get why you expect the snake to explore if you give it nothing to explore?! If there's nothing to do, then snake will go into hiding, it will preserve energy for when it deems to find it useful to spend it... You're not going to see it ever unless you drag it out of its hide. How is that a proper way of keeping your snake? If I put you in an empty room with nothing but a bed, would you not constantly lay on the bed? Is there anything else for you to do there? No, right.

So how most breeders breed their snake in plastic bins ? If snakes are stressed they don't even eat.

110 liter is small box for juvenile ?
My snake has light from a window !! That's enough.

- Only heating 50% of the hide box is no way to heat a snake

actually my snake lay on thermal sensor. So I know exactly how is her temperature.
And did you see the video I gave above ? bc looks like you didnt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiIkOlPHl1M

So adult snakes must have winter time and juveniles dont have winter. Is that what are you talking about ?

- Assuming newspapers as substrate provide ample enrichment to the animal and trigger exploratory behavior is wrong

I use paper towels now. So you are wrong.

- Last time I saw your viv it was air sealed with no ventilation

Read about convection already.

- Last time I saw your viv it was an empty space with 2 branches, a hide, and a plastic bucket for water

I added green branches with leaves

There is several youtube channels. 3 of them from USA. And a lot of snakes live in plastic boxes, eat and give babies.

And you don't listen to me at all.
I say she was away hide box every night when she was in 10 times smaller plastic bin and you don't hear me and again this song about bad viv. And no matter that snakes live and breed in much smaller plastic boxes if we take breeders.
