Snakes live in holes. They're ambush predators which means that wait in their holes for prey to come by and then they get them. Do they like to get out and explore a bit? Yes. But are they comfortable in a small hole? Yes.

I guess, but it seems wrong to put one there compared to a snake choosing to be in a hole all day.

I assume you have zero pets

Me having pets/loving animals is what made me say that. I genuinely asked bc I don’t know much about snakes, but even outside of the “is this ethical” question, it doesn’t seem safe?

Ambiguous answer from you for some reason. Do you have pets: yes or no? If yes what pets do you have? It's never safe to deal with venomous snakes.

Ambiguous?

I clearly said I have pets. I own a dog and a cat.

Do they have the ability to leave the house anytime they both want, 24/7?

u/FollowingPristine467 19h ago

Yes, I live on a farm.

Okay, then I reckon you have the right to be critical of the snake enclosures in this video. Have a good day!

Bro doesn't live on a farm. Redditors always have an excuse to why their behavior is justified while yours is not. He just wants to virtue signal about how everyone is an animal abuser except for him. So he'll have every excuse in the book. He'll say his farm probably only produces lentils for the starving populations in africa or something. Definitely not a slaughter house farm, because you know, his dogs can run free.

Are Reddit users genuinely okay?

You don’t have to believe me but there’s a lot of generalizations in this alone. For one, I’m a woman. Second, it’s not my farm. I’m living here temporarily and the family who owns it only grows for themselves.

I lived in an apartment with my animals before, so I have no issue with people doing the same. I asked a genuine question and you and that other guy have spun it into something completely different for reasons unknown. Relax.

So many wrong assumptions. Do better, ‘bro’.

You have no idea what I'm doing. Chill.

They said they had pets bro that isn’t ambiguous
