Bird Can't blame him >.< |

That is sad ;-; I will say though I did have one male ball python at one time that did need to live in a rack. He was absolutely beautiful I was so sad to have to rehome him but no mater what I did he was so defensively aggressive and refused to eat. I actually traded him for my female king snake. But the guy that got him has snake racks and said as soon as he was set up in one he ate no issue and was super chill. |

Angel My girl was basically in a rolling shelf she only had wood chips in her drawer 💔 |

Snake racks can be done right though. But in very very rare circumstances, but they need to be huge and full of decor and enrichment, but even then I still believe they need a proper day night cycle which is basically impossible in a rack |

When I got my Lila they said that she could only be put in a snake rack or else she got extremely stressed, I in fact did not put her in the rack and she's fine. The people that had her had put her in with four other snakes all of different species and they couldn't get her to feel safe with them so they just put her in the rack <\3 |

Most people know puppy mills are bad, but I still feel like snake racks are up for debate in the reptile world. I disagree with them personally. |

@Angel Me neather, overweight with just a water bowl and maybe some substrate? What kind of life is that? Snake mills are just as bad a puppy mills but got forbid someone says that 🫩 |

@Bird The quickest anything get my blood going is Snake Racks, at what point is it just hoarding? Side note, I'd have to report to corporate because what.the fuck? Cohabitation between pythons aren't done for a reason, they get territorial, aggressive and overall stressed very, easily. It took Athena eight months to stop striking at everything when I got them separated. Aphrodite had a couple of old bite wounds from her |

The only animals we keep together at our store are babies. They get separated when they start to grow up |

Green - that can be said about many species of 'pets'. All too often, that oh so cute impulse buy puppy, ends up in a shelter, or worse. |

I even left a review of a local pet store that was keeping 5 ball pythons together in an enclosure. PetSmart does better than that. |

I don't have any rescues at the moment. Unless you count my little deformed babies I took in lol |

@Green, yes! It drives me nuts! I occasionally look a local reptile classifieds (just because) and at least 98% of the ones I see are living in neglect and being sold with an abhorrent setup. |

Don't get me started about how blatant reptile abuse runs so massively rampant. 3 out of my 4 came from people who simply realized they didn't want to do more then the bare minimum of care and research. 2 were housed together and you can imagine how that went. |
