Well it doesn't necessarily have to be large, but they should be able to burrow.Yes, but what's the point of giving them a big exhibit if they're never going to use it?

See my two most recent posts ^^Yes, but then:
A. The enclosure would taking up much more space than is necessary.
B. The enclosure would be more difficult to maintain than it needs to be.
C. Visitors would never see the animal.

My point was mainly that none of these exhibits that this thread is supposed to be about allow them to burrow.Easily done in a small exhibit. Just not done on public display much because the animal becomes invisible.
In a similar vein, some snake species are actually recommended to be kept in relatively small tanks because they actually become very nervous in large exhibits. They pace, hide incessantly, or won't eat because they're so stressed. Emphasis on this is some snake species. It's not the norm for all snakes.
What's living in that chunk of plastic?

My exact question!A Rainbow Boa, you can see it. A truly awful enclosure for one. Where is this?
Quite terrible even for pet standards, there is no proper sediment only rocks, the cover sucks and definitely doesn't fit the needs of the boa, there is no enrichment from what I can see, and the plants are just palm clippings, not actual plants.

But my question is, where is that exhibit? It looks like its in a house since the shades and wooden plank walls make it look like its from someones home, like something they bought at a pet shop.

Strange, It looks more like a small terrarium in someones home based on the look.Smithsonian National Zoo! Amazon building. And yes, it's a rainbow boa.
No this looks like backstage holding, even a novice snake keeper would have their exhibit look nicer than thisStrange, It looks more like a small terrarium in someones home based on the look.
I mean in terms of its surroundings, not the exhibit itself. The walls, Table, and shades make it look like its in someone's home.No this looks like backstage holding, even a novice snake keeper would have their exhibit look nicer than this
The big question, because the snake can't handle big cages or because people are not willing/able to decorate their cages appropriately? Put a gorilla in a hectare large mown grass field and it may also feel nervous due to the lack of shade, put it in a hectare large forest and it would feel fine.In a similar vein, some snake species are actually recommended to be kept in relatively small tanks because they actually become very nervous in large exhibits.
