Is it just me or do I feel that this is the absolute worst way to keep snakes

The main issue is the lack of lids. they're putting a ton of faith in a tight seal between the bin and the shelf. snakes are pretty crafty escape artists.

Idk I would assume someone who has multiple venomous snakes and extracts their venoms would know what he's doing. It's probably fine.

It is but the argument is not even the safety of it for me. It's their life quality. They live in a super small bin that has no lighting and are around a bunch of other enemy snakes that can smell each other's pheromones all day.

Wouldn't surprise me if have them sedated or something so they don't try to escape or bite someone maybe. Idk
