beautiful snakes, expert handling... but maybe goldfish would be less stressful pets.

@yugandali I find these guys relaxing.....dealing with people causes stress.

Viperkeeper I have a question in regards to water-bowls and cage cleaning.

From what I have seen of your videos, if you put a bowl in a snake's enclosure they are more likely to defecate in the bowl than drink from it.

Would it be worth it to have a bowl in each enclosure for the snakes to excrete in so that the rest of the cage stayed cleaner? I would assume it would be easier to rinse out a bowl and refill it with fresh water and have fewer full cage cleanings. Just a thought.

@ viperkeeper WHAT DO YOU WITH THE SNAKES WHEN THEY ARE DEAD???

[yugandali]

@viperkeeper You have a point.

We have plenty of wild snakes here, so they don't need cages. If people would get over their fright, they would realize how beautiful and graceful snakes are.
