How to tell if hurt/stuck?

I watched SuperMaryFace's short little BP care video, I did not agree with a bunch of the things she was saying.

There's no reason you can't do a showy enclosure if he's eating well and your husbandry is in tip-top shape when you do it, but I wouldn't take tips from some Youtuber lady.

Chances are if he's stuck the hide with have to be cut, he's going to tense up and make everything more difficult if someone tries to lube him up and pull him out. If he comes out on his own, get rid of the hide and get a proper one.

Yea... no. You really didn't understand what I said.

I did not have them before Deborah told me to get them.

I got them as a temporary replacement while I fixed his actual tank. While her suggestion was to keep him in this, I still disagree that it is the only option. *eyeroll* And I'm allowed my own opinion on this. And I will continue to shovel my heels in on this because it's absolutely false that it is the only way to house your snake.

It's EXACTLY like claiming that a captive bred fox belongs ONLY outside because his natural instincts. No. a captive bred fox can be raised indoors if enrichment is given and if outside is a crowded neighborhood with dogs. It's EXACTLY like saying there is only ONE way to raise a kid. Or a dog. Or a horse.

But here we go. *gets out my popcorn.* I spoke out against a popular individual on this site who is knowledgeable in her own right however stubborn in her own way. I may not be able to ignore the people who are so fixated on repeating the last bit of information they heard that made sense that they would ignore all else. *munch munch munch*

And then once I fixed his tank, which works just fine, I threw out the sharp edged plastic saucers I CUT MYSELF because they could HURT him.

-_-

But please. Do continue.

Did he come out yet?

Just came out on his own. Was about to update but was in the middle of venting frustration

Right on! Glad to see he came out on his own!

As was suggested before, replace it with something appropriate and you'll never have to worry about him getting stuck again.

Will need to make sure this is only temporary scale damage that will go away with his next sheds.

Also going to be putting down softer bedding in the mean time....
