    I would be my car that a well done experiment would prove otherwise...

    Of course, because hunters look for snakes during the daytime ;)

    It's their natural habit, when they're hungry they go out and look for food...

    It's interesting that you ask that - I've actually on a couple of occasions realized that I forgot to snap the lids down on my free standing tubs. Found my snakes happy and snug inside their hides (after a full day before discovering my mistake). I guess I must be providing them exactly what they need in their tubs. :)

    Or you were simply lucky :)

    You sure do seem to know a lot!

    Nothing personal, but the statements that you've made in this thread so far probably stem from nothing more than your own observations or assumptions...you seem to be treating them as fact. Do you have some kind of qualification or professional experience that we aren't aware of?

    See post #36.

    I mean it's just logic... hunters are experienced in finding places where BPs hide. And it would not make much sense to look for them at night.
