I was watching a TV programme about pets earlier this week. It featured a couple who had large reptiles. I'm not sure what type the were, but they did mention that they were four feet long, so pretty big.
Every day, the reptiles would be put into the bath for a while and the rest of the time they were just kept around the house and petted on the sofa.
It just got me wondering, shouldn't these reptiles have had a habitat that was as similar as possible to their natural one? I would have thought that they should have free access to water. Or do they not need that?
I wouldn't fancy having reptiles myself, but I'm interested in how they should be kept.
