    lets just end this whole situation, cause its never gonna end, I don't want to question anyones beliefs since everyone holds different beliefs on different matters.

    I guess it is tru wat they say, never talk about religion and politics, cause the arguement will never end

    Sorry I had school and everything so I couldn't explain the Buddha. Yes, I am Buddhist and I went to Thailand and became a Buddhist. I speak Chinese, some Thai, Korean, English, German, and a little Japanese.

    Yes I know what Buddha means, and you should know just for your knowledge that There are giant Buddha statues in China and Thailand and probably in India too, and birds land on them and nature takes its course on them, so I thought about it and if Snakes do what they do then it's nature. Just read more into Buddhism and you'll understand about the part where you should respect nature and Buddha isn't a "GOD". It's a ro-model.

    Read this and you'll understand maybe. Are you sure you're buddhist. lol

    Buddha is not worshipped as god, deva, nor prophet or messenger of God but a human guru ( teacher) who had gained enlightenment.

    Probably one of the few religions in the world that had never fought any war in his name.

    A typical misconception tends to link Buddha as the Buddhist counterpart of “God”; however, Buddhism is non-theistic, i.e., in general it does not teach the existence of a supreme creator god (see God in Buddhism) or depend on any supreme being for enlightenment; Buddha is a guide and teacher who points the way.

    The commonly accepted definition of the term "God" describes a being that not only rules but actually created the universe (see origin belief). Such ideas and concepts are disputed by Buddha and Buddhists in many Buddhist discourses.

    In Buddhism, the supreme origin and creator of the universe is not a god, but Avidya (ignorance). Buddhists try to dispel this darkness through constant practice, wisdom and compassion (known as prajna).

    Hey, Im not sure if you have your clamp lamps on the top of the tank directly? If you do I would definately suggest taking them off direct contact. The tank is a little big but like most people were saying just put some more hiding spots for your bp! Do you have anything to monitor humidity levels? :)

    The thingy you see in the picture reads humidity and temperature. I'm going to go to walmart tomorrow because I don't get out of work until 11:30pm, and get an accurite.
    I will get more Hide spots but I just got him on monday(2days ago) and I still have a lot to learn.
    I love the lil guy and I hope to have him for a long time.

    I'm sure he will be fine! I definately prefer having seperate measuring gauges! One for humidity and one for temp, but to each his own! Congratulations on the new addition! :)

    Re: Is this set up good for my Ball Python?
    Here's the lil guy. He was in his Hide for the other pictures of the cage I took. Here he is, When I was sitting next to the cage I looked over and it look as if he was kissing Buddhas head. :love:

    So I ran and grabbed my laptop which is the only camera in the house (built in camera) and then took it but by the time I loaded up the taking picture program he started to slowly move toward his Hide which he ended up going to and staying there.

    I can't wait to get him more stuff in his cage. I feel so bad because it's so damn boring for him but It's better than the pet store.

    Good post, what I wanted to say, but would not have been able to very well. I have problems with writing apparently. LOL :rofl: *sorry, inside joke with myself*

    INTERNET, SERIOUS BUSINESS.
