From where did you get this information?Germans take amazing care of their reptiles.. What would be considered a "low quality" cage in Germany would be considered zoo quality in the US.
Just look at the numerous print publications and the care related articles in the US and Germany. There is quite a difference in style of housing and sense for keeping. I am not taking sides which is best, but for myself I definitely prefer the more naturalistic approachFrom where did you get this information?

Germany may have more reptile experts doing publications, and most people have halfways natural setups, but there are still a considerable amount of people who don't keep their pets as they should! It's the same as in every industrialised country.Just look at the numerous print publications and the care related articles in the US and Germany.

I can agree that the monitor keeping I have seen in Germany looked better (only looked because I don't know anything about monitors), but that's about it.Exactly. They meticulously keep records of feeding and behavior, and keep them in large, naturalistic setups.
For instance, look how much success they have with monitor keeping and breeding, while in the US, most monitors are unlikely to live more than a few years due to improper care.. That alone speaks volumes.

Crocs and caimans are generally also better cared for in the US IME.
The only thing you won't see in Germany, is people keeping snakes in small plastic boxes like seen on SnakeByteTV ( Nothing against them, they as a huge store have to do it, but I know a good amount of people do it privately, too)
