Default opinions

Just wanted to see what peoples opinions are on the subject of keeping things in racks eg leos. Do you think that its right that people do this or do you think that they should be kept in vivs?
Not starting this thread for an argument just wondered about other peoples views on this

So long as the snakes or other reps have all their needs met I don't think it matters. Vivs are more for us to see them than anything. I have numerous vivs and also a couple of stacks and don't see any differences if snakes are moved from one to the other

i have a few racks, and leos are kept in one, light gets in through windows on the front on one of them, and others are clear boxes so light gets through, never had any problems,

My stacks have perspex doors so it is dark at night and light during the day. This is slightly different from racks tho
