Male and Female bp's residing in the same enclosure

I don't think anyone here meant to slam you or make you feel unwelcome. Most folks here are just very passionate about providing the best captive care possible for these lovely creatures.

For me, when it comes to the husbandry of balls it's all about providing them with environments that as closely approximate what they would naturally require in their wild state. Now considering I raise ours in Sterlite tubs, which are by their very nature an unnatural environment I feel it only proper to do what I can to provide the best care for the snakes. They have decent sized tubs in which they all live seperately with appropriate belly heat, two hides, a cool and warm side so they can thermoregulate, clean water, good prey items provided regularily and gentle handling (which I acknowledge is more for our benefit than the snakes LOL).

This gives the snakes what they need to thrive which is what I know all of us want for our precious snakes. How we each achieve that is often personal but for me anyway a large part of the husbandry decisions I and my husband continue to make are based on the wonderful sharing of information this forum provides.

No hard feelings at all...I need to look at what I post more often to make sure its not coming across the wrong way. Lots of people come to websites like this with things they have been told or learned from others and then are told they are doing things "wrong"... which of course is going to make people upset and we understand that. You have already gone above and beyond the initial stages of keeping reptiles as "pets" by joining our community :)
