ngl though, some people go way overboard with setups. I’ve seen people make their snake enclosure look like a tiny rainforest. It’s kinda wild what people will do for the animals they care about. I feel like if they’re actually putting in the effort, it’s not that bad.
True, but it also depends on intent. Some folks see it as a hobby and do research; others just buy a cool-looking animal and don’t know what they’re doing. That’s where it becomes unethical, not necessarily the species itself.
