I saw that and wondered that myself, he might not even know who buddha is, and bought it from a mall somewhere. Maybe he will get some Tankas and use them as a back drops to cover up the other three sides of the tank.:rolleyes:

lol that is the exact snake-starter-kit that i bought. this is what I'm working with now:

i bought 2 identical cave hides, 4-5 feet of aquarium background poster, some fake plants, a UTH (using a dimmer with it until my t-stat comes) and an Acurite- 'bout 12$ from Walmart, it is much more accurate than those crappy dials and also has a hygrometer built in which is very nice. The Acurite also has a probe sensor for "outdoor" temps, which you will be using to check the temp under the substrate on the warm side (given you are using a UTH)

oh and can't forget the Jungle Vine - Shinobi just LOVES that thing :D

I found this interesting... I guess I shouldn't explain why for fear of offending.

don't worry, I wasn't completely/deeply offended...it just bothered my a little, no biggie, In the Thai culture and mayb others buddhist cultures, we have this general rule that the buddha is always put in the highest point of the house, there should never be an instance where the person be higher then it. frankly I don't really understand all aspects of it, it was just the way I was brought up to know

No offense but if i could find a jesus statue heavy enough to support the snake i would have one and im christian. God invented pooh, how bad can it be?

Is it really that big of a deal? It isn't in your household or presence, so why would it bother you?

Regardless if he worships the statue or if the only symbolic meaning is that it looks cool, how is it any of your business?

Just my opinion.
