Hi there! More so making this thread out of pure curiosity and to see other peoples opinions on it.

So on Reddit someone posted a question in r/snakes about wanting to own a ball python and where to start. There's was honestly a lot of differentiating opinions on naturalistic vs non naturalistic. Primarily they where pushing the idea of a more naturalistic enclosure, going so far as saying ball pythons don't need belly heat as that's not "realistic".
And, while I know ball pythons don't really need it it doesn't hurt to have it (as long as its regulated that is).

So whats your guys opinions? Is going realistic really the only way to take care of BP or is non realistic fine as well?
