Closer view of the dreaded cooler

Found this closer look at the infamous “cooler” while looking through my old photos

Wow. Dead leaves in a white plastic bin. Wow, Como. Just wow.

And a bit of dirt (not like that makes this god-awful “enclosure” any better).

@Dhole dude And even worse, Its not open-topped. Its just covered with a glass slate over the top of the bin.

I mean, wouldn’t the boa escape is it was open-toped(although a part of me wishes he/she could escape from that terrible “enclosure”)

@Dhole dude I know it would escape, but I'm just talking personal preference here. It seems like hell living in that.

@Dhole dude @CheeseChameleon2007 Out of curiosity have you seen how many snake breeders keep their snakes? Plastic bin with a substrate and hide?

Does anyone know if this animal is taken out for educational purpose? and on @Great Argus 's note, many offstage animals are kept like this, not to mention most pets...

Not the cooler!
@Great Argus I have, but they're normally a bit larger in comparison to the animal.
@MonkeyBat This is on exhibit. It's a cooler sitting on the visitor path. Also, I think many education animals would get better exhibits than this.

@red river hog Not necessarily from what I have seen. Many education animals get this plus a hide, usually a bit bigger relative to the animal. It's common practice that is quite livable for the animals, although it is doubtful they thrive.
That said I am not condoning the exhibit as acceptable (because it is not), rather stating this is not far off the common standard.
Another point: Como is AZA accredited, which means their exhibits and husbandry are scrutinized every couple years. It would be interesting to see whether this has been flagged previously or not.
