Racks or terrariums ?

I noticed a lot of you use or want to use racks as opposed to terrariums. Why is this?

I only use terrariums, as I feel this is the closest the animals can come to nature itelf.

Mainly its to save room. The snakes dont really care how natural their setup looks as long as they have everything they need, infact many snakes feel better in the harder to see through containers used in racks, they feel safer.

i agree, it is mainly to save space. when people have a whole lot of snakes or a lot of babies if they breed, they cant afford to buy 50+ expensive cages. i know that i will use racks for all my babies and large plastic enclosures for all my adults. but the internal setups will always be the same. newspaper substrate, a water bowl, and a hide box. i will never have an enclosure more complex than that.

Another thing is that plasic containers are so much more cheaper and easier to clean when compared to glass.

I myself like the stackable cages such as Vision cages or Boaphile cages. Although, I have had Visions warp one me. I will get racks when I start to breed my boas again, they are easy to get and clean and they are cheap.

So I understand that it's mainly to save space. I can understand that, because the four terrariums I have now is already taking up a huge amount of space in my room.

If you do have your snakes in plastic containers, then you can't really see them (Is'nt that why you keep them?) and nor can you display them to your friends, relatives etc., etc. Then a twerrarium is better for that purpose ???
