Re: Just a quick point

They probably don't have a preference, but snakes certainly know the difference. They're not as stupid as everyone seems to think they are. If you keep an animal in a box, that's what it is. If you give it an environment that it can interact with, they display natural behaviors.
I do natural vivs. Aside from the aesthetic appeal, I love watching my animals explore and hunt. I understand the reasoning behind tubs, I just prefer to have mine planted.

Really? Snakes don't show natural behaviours in a tub? Are you sure?

My ball pythons hunt like they would normally in theirs. I'd consider that natural. They hold tight to their bodies in their bins too just like they would in nature.

I would go as far to say that they don't know the difference between the plastic tub termite mound I supply them with and if I supplied a real one. Both give the necessary amount of security.

Derek would be correct thus far.
