Animals should be able to turn around and take at least a few steps, and have somewhere to hid, even if its under some tissue, and access to water. Basic conditions as called for by AWA I belive.

But your right, the buying public vote with its cash and all the time they buy, its not going to stop.

I was at Houten and they werent using bigger tubs at all - I saw green tree monitors in cricket boxes. Although I did see one guy who had used large poly boxes and put a perspex window in - with branches etc for ETB's - truth is some people give s&^t - some dont - dont think nationality is a factor

barking was better this year, perhaps ware will follow suit re the tub sizes.....

however i was disgusted at the sight of blood pythons cramed / squished in to those type of boxes yesterday

Seeing as I was the only person selling bloods that day, I guess you would be talking about me. Thanks.

They were not cramed by any extent. I will put some pics up later for all to see. I use the same tubs as hide boxes for those bloods, they usually spend their whole time in them appart for when it comes to feeding. Iam sure they would not have minded being it them for the show duration.

If your consered about how i keep my blood pythons your more than welcome to come to my snake house and see them all. I am based in Windsor, Surrey.

Regards, Tom

I have seen how Tom keeps his snakes, and to date, have yet to find any one else keeping any reptiles to his standards, and that includes myself. I did see the bloods on the day, and did not find them to look in the slightest bit stressed or in any discomfort.

I am sure the bloods are kept wonderfuly at home and they looked stunning snakes in good condition, however i did not enjoy seing them cramped into the flip top tubs . it is , of course up to you how you display your animals........ and its up to me if i am a soft mare who does not like that.

Thankyou for your words.

Much appreciated.

I went to the show last year and i will be going again this year, yes it was an extremely hot day but what is the likely hood of it being like that again and if it is then people can decide if they want to take their animals, no matter where the location was it would have been too hot for them that day! so whats with people saying they wont go again in reflection to a freakish hot british day which doesnt happen too often?!

I too saw Toms bloods and I dont think they were 'cramed' either. Bloods, by nature do absolutely SFA 98% of the time, they sit in their hides all day everyday and like royals prefer hides they can just fit in rather than a cavern. I would consider none of the bloods to be in any unfit tub that day. I love Toms bloods and think they are top notch
