I think Frank from Bronx Zoo hit the nail on the head in his latest post about Burmese Pythons. He basically said that if you get a giant snake, you should provide it with a sizable enclosure. A full grown giant should effectively have it's own room and that a 6ft long tank for a 16ft snake is kind of unethical. Not to say that the snake won't stay in reasonable health, but it will be more in "storage" really than living a good life with free roaming space.

I'd second his thoughts on that.
