There is a growing new school of thought about keeping reptiles in captivity.

  Instead of keeping them much like one keeps a laboratory animal in small,

 relatively bare-bone type enclosures.  This new approach focuses on quality of life

 for the captive animal and quality of display for the human observer.

Boa constrictors and pythons can be strikingly beautiful creatures which in the

truest sense are living works of art.  So why should we keep them in environments

too unattractive to have on display in our own homes?
