How common is BP neglect? Do they still thrive?
I was doing cage maintainence the other day and my boyfriend commented on how spoiled my BP is, and how overkill and OCD I am with the husbandries. I just replied I was doing what I had to in order to keep her healthy.
He then informed me he used to live with a guy who had a BP, all the guy had was a heat lamp on one side. Didn’t monitor temps/humidity, didn’t mist. Just left him with a heat lamp, water bowl, and a hide. He told me the BP was an adult and looked healthy (besides escaping the cage often and scaring him on multiple occasions lol)
I’m just wondering how often people don’t closely monitor their snakes habitat and how well they thrive. I was under the impression most BP owners knew the husbandry is incredibly important in the snakes overall health.
