I'm sure we're talking about the same place, in Lodi, right? A new kid recently bought the place from the guy who had owned it for years and years. His staff seems like typical pet store staff, doesn't know much at all..... The guy that owned it before knows his stuff, sounds like he's gonna continue breeding for the store, but he has sold it to someone else.

And I'm getting my information from as many sources as possible for that exact reason, it seems that every one thinks that their way is right and everyone else's way is wrong. But few people have really convincing arguments as to why they do what they do.... (Except the ever present argument, it's easier...)

As far as housing them in a natural environment, in the wild they are not separated from each other by cage walls, but by distance, or separate holes. Does anyone know a wild bp's territory size? Everyone seems concerned about them bullying each other or competing for the same space. Couldn't I give them a second hot spot?

Yes, I'm being really hard headed about this, I just want all the info I can get. I will gladly change my setup, I just need to be convinced it really is the best for the snakes. Please tell me I'm wrong, and why, I'm eager to hear what you know....
