I agree! Even with staff I dont understand how breeders that own hundreds of animals can possibly give them all proper care and space requirements. I can think of one big name breeder off the top of my head that keeps full grown retics in 6ft by 3ft tubs and showcases it on youtube like there's nothing wrong! How can anyone consider that humane?? I have 10 snakes and can sometimes barely keep up with who wants to come out for some roaming time to stretch their muscles. Just because they can't wine and bark like dogs somehow makes it okay to keep them in dark tubs with no hides or light? Argh! Okay, getting off my soapbox!
