So, i am a bad owner for keeping Fudge in a 'box' and not a 'glass thingy' as she put it
I told her it was perfectly fine, tried to explain its easier for me to move and clean etc, but nooooooo she knows best.
Never even had a reptile herself, told her to go do reaserch before spouting such.....rubbish
So nearly fell out, but she backed before we fell out just so annoying

Oh dear. The tubs/rubs is one thing that I can understand why 'outsiders' don't understand/think it's cruel. All you can really is educate them on it, and well, if they refuse to at least consider it from your point of view, then what can you do I guess!

To be honest before I kept snakes I would have had the same opinion as your friend! keeping an animal in a box with no windows or means to see the world would have been very cruel im my opinion as a none snake keeper. Its only through keeping snakes that I know its not cruel and that most reptiles prefer small dark spaces then big glass open spaces.

EAN632 She is in a clear rub,so not exactly 'windows' the lid is black,since rub is standing on side for the height, lid is at the back she would hate it if she couldnt see what was going on, she is always watching me at night when i am reading!
And unlike others in the house she listens to me talking lol

Like I say, you need to keep reptiles to understand. People think the bigger the space the better but in reptiles this isnt always true.

No no no no! You got it wrong, it's actually the dog, being fed to the corn snake, see how the corn snake is surreptitiously measuring the dog out... seriously, don't you know anything about corn snakes? ;-)
